Inter-Faith Food Shuttle

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is an innovative hunger-relief organization serving seven counties in and around the Triangle area of North Carolina.  We believe hunger IS fixable if the community works together to do two things: create sources of healthy food in every low-income neighborhood and grow opportunities for people to provide for themselves by learning job skills or growing their own food.

Local Urban Gardeners

Our mission is: To create a garden bassed community center that can serve as a place of learning, a place to grow nutritious food, to promote sustainable gardening and inspire community improvement. 

We are working to develop a community garden and learning lab at Natividad Creek Park in Salinas,CA. It has been an ongoing process since 2013. This year looks promising and if all goes well we should be able to break ground in early spring 2016!

SPEC School Gardens Program

The Society Promoting Environmental Conservation first started the School Gardens Program through volunteers in 2008.  The goal of the program is to connect children to their food, to each other, to nature and to their community.  We currently partner with 13 schools across Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to help build and maintain school food gardens and to deliver school garden education.   We also support schools in obtaining funding to further their garden and food programs.

Growing Oshkosh's School Garden Program

Growing Oshkosh's mission is to raise awareness and educate citizens about the numerous benefits of fresh, healthy, local and fair food (and food production) . We are working with the schools in the Winnebago County to bring edible gardens to all schools, beginning with the K-5 schools. GO helps design and build the initial raised garden beds, one for each grade K-5 for a total of six beds. At schools where the elementary and middle exist in the same building, the number of beds can be extended to incorporate the middle school grades levels.

Marshall School & Community Garden

The Marshall School & Community Garden is located at Marshall High School and serves the Searcy County School District in the heart of the Arkansas Ozark Mountains.

This school garden program engages Holyoke high school students at the Paulo Freire Social Justice Charter School in hands on food systems education. True to the values of the school's namesake, Paulo Freire, garden educators strive to integrate social justice into all parts of the curriculum. School gardeners grow crops valued by latino communities in Holyoke, such as gandules and aji dulce. Also, students participate in school food research and improvement projects.

LHSCA is an alternative high school for students who moved from the main high school. Since its beginning, the garden has become a very popular place for students. It was built right in front of the school so students see it every time they walk into the school.
