About the Program: 

What we would like to create is a project that will help educate our youth about healthy eating habits, as well as instill and validate Lakota cultural values. One of the main goals for our garden is to provide an alternative food source for our community as a whole. Through distributing fresh fruit and vegetables to families in our community, we hope to increase the opportunities for healthy, well-balanced meals for young and old people alike. Another major goal for our garden is to provide a space where youth and caring adults can come to together to build healthy relationships which will help to promote positive change within our community. And lastly, we also aim to support our school by providing fresh fruit and vegetables for our school lunch program. If we are awarded the Whole Kids Grant, it will provide us with much needed support to achieve our goals of creating healthy, positive change within our community.
