This Spring was a whirlwind.

In just a few weeks time we learned that our two Americorp members—Abby and Greyson—lost their positions. And on top of that, we lost two major USDA grants to federal funding cuts. In short order, our team and our beloved community programs took a big hit.

The wave of support that followed was breathtaking. Because of our community, we raised the first $12,000 we needed to save our Americorps positions in just 24 hours. Now we have the rest of the year to stave off the worst of the remaining cuts by chipping in together. Can you help us reach $40,000?

If we can reach our goal, we'll not only be able to keep Abby and Greyson on our team, but we'll be able to shore up our farm business support program and our farm market access program--two community programs that will be essential for so many us in the economic uncertainty that lies ahead.

We hope you’ll lean in with us! And thank you. Thank you for reminding us that it’s community, above all else, that gives us security and meaning.
