GFGM: empowering participants with the practical skills of food self-reliance and community resilience through hands-on activities in: community gardening, healthy seasonal cooking, affordable nutrition, food preservation & leadership development. We model low or no cost healthy eating utilizing local resources like community and backyard gardening, gleaning, barter, and food drops.  Our programming encourages a healthier future through intervention and prevention with children and young families that cultivates a safe and inclusive learning environment rooted in solidarity-not-charity that fosters community building, resilience, and empowerment.
