has grown!
Even before COVID, Greensboro was one of the hungriest cities in the United States. The last couple of years have hit struggling families hard. Equally important, the money all goes back to support our community of local food entrepreneurs and farmers, many of whom have also had a very tough couple of years.
As a mother of a three year old and a newborn, the Green for Greens program truly helps bridge the gap in providing my family with healthy, healing foods each week. My preschooler has a feeding tube, and I am able to make all of her meals from scratch from fresh ingredients we get to source from the market. We are so grateful that the Green for Greens program exists so we can afford to nourish our families.
Green for Greens has allowed us, a small-scale farm, to be competitive with industrial agriculture’s pricing without us having to sell our produce at an unsustainable price. G4G’s mission is aligned with our farm’s mission for our food to be accessible to everyone.
As someone who has been struggling with a chronic health condition for years, I owe so much of my well-being to the Green for Greens program. It allows me to access the healthiest food available in a way that is also good for the community. It’s not at all an exaggeration to say that without the local farmers that grow my food and the Green for Greens program that allows me to afford it, I would not be as healthy as I am and my journey would be a lot more difficult.
Your donation feeds families and builds a vibrant local food system.
All donations are matched by the USDA to help families buy healthy food, and every cent goes on to pay our local food producers to keep on growing!
