10,000+ Meals Provided!

New Vegetables (Swiss Chard) Growing in the Farm

Thanks to many generous supporters and tenacious volunteers, we have now provided over 10,000 meals to those in need through our Aquaponics Food Security & Education Program. We are proud of the impact we have been able to make over a short period of time, and we wanted to share some statistics with you today. Behind each one of these numbers is a person, a family, and a community that was supported by this effort:

Over 10,000 meals provided
Over 3,500 heads of lettuce grown
Over 150 students educated
Over 100 volunteers involved

We could not do this work without our incredible donors and volunteers who have helped us to build and support this program. However, the job is not over. Food insecurity is still a pressing issue and the demand for locally grown produce continues to rise. Please join us in providing high-quality, fresh food to those in need.
