Adopt A Grandparent Garden Program & Farmer's Market

Imagine not being able to afford to buy, or not having easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
Imagine being in a nursing facility, with little to no family support, and not being able to access little things, like snacks or comfort foods. These are real issues for many of our seniors.

Our programs have a direct impact on the seniors and veterans we reach and really do help improve their mental health and well-being. Just knowing that someone cares and is going out of their way to do something kind for them, makes a real difference.

SPONSOR A SENIOR FOR JUST $25

This program provides:

• Custom made container gardens for our seniors to nurture and care for.
• Vegetable plants for outdoor garden areas at our participating low income living facilities and nursing homes.
• A community garden project that grows fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers, that are distributed (along with donations from the community) to our participating seniors.
• FREE Farmer’s Markets that are held in their low-income living facility/nursing home.

With your continued support, we will brighten the lives of our participating seniors/veterans and remind them they matter.
