About the Program:
Grow Together is fundraising for a garden at 12th and Chicon, one of the highest crime areas of Austin, and situated near River City Hope Street, the non-profit umbrella under which we serve. Grow Together uses teams of volunteers to support four community gardens serving distinct populations in Austin: refugees, children in foster care, the elderly and food pantry clients. Our mission is to reach out to more populations in need, using the garden as a catalyst to grow relationships and improve lives. We aim to build a supportive community based on a strong foundation of faith and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
