OUR VISION
Partnering with schools, parents, and community leaders, H.O.P.E means Helping Other People Eat, which we do by empowering people to grow their own food affordably and sustainably. We believe change can start with a bit of knowledge and a small seed in the hand of a child.
Our gardens and programming increase student understanding of how to grow, share, prepare, and find joy in consuming fresh produce harvested through their collective efforts.
