DescGROW works to increase the number of P-Patch community gardens through an array of advocacy activities. GROW is committed to helping enable low-income people to garden, and provides gardeners with financial support (e.g. paying P-Patch plot fees and providing seeds and tools for shared use). GROW encourages gardeners to grow food for the hungry, either by contributing some of their own organic produce or by helping with the P-Patch garden plots designated for growing food for feeding programs. GROW provides support for the 89 P-Patch gardens in the form of volunteer site leader development, assistance with fundraising projects, liability insurance and small grants for infrastructure (e.g. tool sheds and communal eating spaces). GROW's education mission is carried out through publication of the P-Patch Post, a quarterly newsletter that provides seasonal gardening tips, recipes and stories about inspirational gardeners. GROW is a member of Food Resource Network Federation. The Food Resource Network Federation was formed by area food providers seeking to move beyond the band-aid response to people trying to meet their food needs.Desc
