We Sow We Grow Project

The We Sow We Grow Project addressed the pressing need for local, healthy fresh produce and community connection in West Pullman, a neighborhood marked by a 50% household food insecurity risk and a staggering 53% adult obesity rate. Community gardens, like We Sow We Grow, played a pivotal role in improving residents' quality of life and promoting healthy eating habits. Funding from the Schwemm Family Foundation supported the purchase of gardening materials and program supplies, enabling the organization to expand its educational offerings and transform vacant spaces into vibrant community assets.
