Grow HOPE with Growing Hope Gardens!

We don’t just grow food. We grow hope!

One of our generous donors has pledged to match all gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $30,000.  We need your support to grow five new garden sites. Make a gift today, and your donation will be doubled!

Growing Hope Gardens brings a connection to nature, reduces hunger, and builds community, creating a sense of belonging.

GHG grows regenerative food gardens with residents of homeless shelters and affordable housing as a place for healing, accessing food, skill training, and community building. Increasing accessibility of local, sustainably-grown produce for low-income communities, from families to elders. Supporting opportunities to build capacity in underserved communities wanting to grow, increasing accessibility to fresh vegetables, and providing dignified work opportunities for unhoused elderly and youth. 

We believe on-site gardening and opportunities for residents to work with their hands help establish a sense of community, increase access to a consistent food source, and improve positive health outcomes.

Taking a seed and using one’s hands to grow that source into food gives our participants a way back into their hopes and dreams, allowing them to move forward with hope for a happier and more productive life. Help us grow five more sites today!
