Creighton Community Foundation

Two years ago we started a community garden in under utilized space along the canal on 36th street and Roosevelt. We are expanding to a second site along the canal at 18th Street and Osborn. Both in neighborhood where food security is unstable and where connections with neighbors struggles in the fast passed urban environment. Our goal was to connect to the community with a place that inspires us connect to our roots, figuratively and literally. To bring resiliency to neighborhood 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 are asking you to join us in creating safe places to explore, learn and connect to our most venerable communities by helping us create more gardens.
