Support Food Justice This December with the Giving Garden
This holiday season, help the Giving Garden raise $10,000 to combat food insecurity and expand food education in our community.
Every dollar you donate will directly support our 2025 programs, enabling us to grow organic produce for those in need and provide valuable food education and workforce development to marginalized groups.
Give a gift that truly matters this holiday season. When you donate, you’ll receive a digital certificate to share with loved ones—an impactful gift in place of something material. Your donation will help create a healthier, more connected community for all.
Donate securely through PayPal and receive your certificate of donation by email. Simply print it out and place it under the tree to give a meaningful gift.
Exciting news! A generous donor has pledged to match donations up to $2,000. Help us double the impact by December 31st!

“Last holiday season, I asked friends and family to donate to the Giving Garden in my name. I have enough clutter at home, and felt that supporting the Garden in exchange for gifts would be a meaningful way to support my community.”
