Garden Team
A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
Creighton Community FoundationWe are bringing community together to farm and garden on the path to food security.
$2,575
raised by 3 people
$500 goal
This year we expanded to a second site along the canal at 18th Street and Osborn, known as Acre 51.In a neighborhood where food security is unstable and connections with neighbors struggle in the fast-paced urban environment.
Our goal was to connect to the community with a place that inspires us to connect to our roots, figuratively and literally. To bring resiliency to neighborhoods that are 65% below the poverty line and empower them to be sustainable. Community gardens are hard to maintain volunteer enthusiasm when time and resources are limited. The desire is there but not always the skill. We secure the resources and inspire the community with the one element that crosses all generations, cultures, and statuses: Food!
This month, we ask you to join us in creating safe places to explore, learn and connect to our most vulnerable communities by helping us develop more gardens.
