Partner with us to make local and organic produce accessible to low-income people in our community!
Your donation will support HGP's training and employment programs AND provides fresh organic produce to community members who need it the most. Feed 2 Birds is in partnership with ten non-profit agencies providing fresh fruits and vegetables to our neighbors facing challenges such as domestic violence, illness, low-income children and foster youth transitioning to adulthood.
Here’s how it works:
- We all contribute to the Scholarship Fund.
- Homeless Garden Project volunteers, trainees, staff and community partners pick the fruits and vegetables.
- Boxes of produce are shared with children, families and seniors via ten local nonprofits.
- Our community is stronger, healthier and more connected!
"The feedback from the families we serve has been so moving. Honestly, the best part for most people is knowing exactly where the food comes from. There’s a lot of joy in the fact that this isn't just ‘grocery store food’—it’s grown right here by local folks at the Homeless Garden Project who are working hard to get back on their feet. It makes the food taste better knowing it’s helping neighbors on both ends of the delivery.
Getting fresh, organic greens and fruit delivered every week is a huge weight off for our families. It’s one less thing to worry about and a massive boost for their health."
