• Sharing Our Roots

  Sharing Our Roots envisions a world where food and agriculture systems are profitable for farmers, fair to workers, beneficial to consumer health, restorative for rural communities, and regenerative for the environment. Through our initiatives, we are establishing local cooperative growing endeavors. We currently feed nearly 200 households; last year, the spirit of community care inspired our 125+ gardeners to distribute 1/3 of the 30,000 pounds of produce grown beyond their families!

• Community Action Center

  Our community is at the heart and soul of everything we do. No matter the challenge, CAC provides opportunities for community members to stand in solidarity with our neighbors. Many CAC programs are led by volunteers who are passionate about needs like feminine hygiene, school supplies, and environmental sustainability. There are countless creative ways to engage with the mission!
