Because we work from our strengths, our efforts are geared towards increasing the capacity of each partner organization’s work through collective support and leveraging partner organization resources in creating new, collaborative actions. Our current projects overlap in these areas of action, and all, to our best efforts, involve youth.

- build community through intergenerational activity and mentoring
Food Sovereignty
- support community gardens
- develop new in-town farming opportunities

- help develop marketing and business opportunities
Public Good Food Campaign
