Our focus is on serving and educating our most critical community sectors including pre-natal single moms, pre-k-12th grade students living in food desert areas, homeless teens and rehabilitating veterans.
We ollaborate with like-minded community partners to fund local food access and nurtition education programs with an emphasis on practical food decision making skills, food preparation skills, and food growing skills. Our programs include funding school gardens in Las Vegas, student run farmer's markets, STEAM curriculum in public and charter schools, and hands-on learning in other community hubs where at-risk citizens congregate.
Currently, we are workig with Garden Farms Foundation and Create A Change to support ongoing curriculum, new garden,youth fitness, nutrition and education programming throughout the Las Vegas valley.
