Learning and growing together is a vital aspect of this program. We offer opportunities to plant and sow, share a meal, become better equipped to cultivate our own food sources, and work together to preserve them.

Communities are stronger when they have the ability to feed themselves, and to do so in ways that align with their culture and contexts. Community gardens offer unique and hyper-local opportunities for such self-determination.

Approximately 13%, or 50,000 people, experience food insecurity in Butler County. Our Food and Mood program allows us to share resources with our community to help address and alleviate this reality.

By offering intergenerational events which create the opportunity for the passing on of knowledge and tradition, we are helping to nourish and equip the next generations toward resilience and wholeness.
