Community Partners
The Family Center/La Familia has a great working relationship with The Growing Project. Not only does The Growing Project donate veggies weekly for a free farmers' market stand at their center but TGP is taking on a bigger role in their garden program. TGP is assisting with maintenance, running volunteer hours, workshops and food distribution. Additionally TGP host weekly garden and nutrition education with the youth at the center. The kids also get to visit our educational garden during the summer!
The Boy and Girls Club and The Growing Project have worked together to install an on-site garden at the club as well as host weekly field trips for youth to the educational farm. Youth also harvest produce from the farm for a weekly farmers market at the club.
Fort Collins Housing Catalyst and The Growing Project work together to install community gardens in low-income neighborhoods and group SRO (single resident occupancy) homes.
The Murphy Center for Hope provides support for people who are either on the brink of homelessness or currently without a permanent place to live. The Growing Project helps maintain and develop a community garden at The Murphy Center.
