Hunger is rising across Los Angeles as local disruptions make it harder for families to access the healthy foods they need. 900,000 Angelenos are already food insecure. Communities are stretched thin, and parents are being pushed to choose between paying rent or putting food on the table.
Growing Hope Gardens grows food, hope, and community through gardening. They teach families how to plant, harvest, and heal. Growing Hope Gardens is launching the Growing Hope Emergency Food Program from their urban farm in Santa Monica, a community-powered food hub to collect, store, and distribute fresh food.
GHG is in urgent need of funding and volunteers to keep this beautiful program running. Visit growinghopegardens.org for information on volunteer opportunities and how to donate.
VOLUNTEERING: If you want to get your hands in the soil and help at the farm, too, there are volunteering opportunities the hour before and the hour after each mindfulness session.
