Who We Are

Our program specifically focuses on traditionally underserved populations, such as families experiencing chronic poverty and food insecurity. We believe that by providing free access to nutritious food and education on how families can grow their own vegetables, youth and families experiencing poverty will be able to bolster their nutritional, economic, and community health.

Help us serve the South Phoenix community with your donation.
