CHARITY

The chosen charity for 2024-2025 is Grow Pittsburgh!

Grow Pittsburgh develops and supports food-growing initiatives and programs across the region as a key way to improve the social, economic, environmental, health, and educational realities of people in our community.

Their work can be summarized in three approaches:

1. Teach people how to grow food through school garden curriculum, teacher trainings, workforce development for youth, adult workshops, and other resources.

2. Grow and distribute food for the community through their urban farm sites, providing affordable sustainably grown fresh fruits and vegetables at their farm stands and through donations to free food distributions.

3. Build and support gardens for schools, early childhood centers, and low-income communities throughout Allegheny County.

Grow Pittsburgh Mission:

Our mission is to teach people how to grow food and promote the benefits gardens bring to our neighborhoods.

Grow Pittsburgh Vision:

We envision the day when everyone in our city and region grows and eats fresh, local and healthy food.

Please keep an eye out for other ways we will be supporting Grow Pittsburgh over the season!
