Warm fall greetings from the GRuB Farm!
As the seasons turn and we reflect on this year’s harvest, we’re reminded that everything we grow—on the land and in our community—begins with you. Your generosity has helped GRuB remain a place where people of all ages come together to grow food, build relationships, and strengthen our community from the ground up.
This year, your support has nurtured youth leadership, built backyard and community gardens, connected Veterans, and ensured that families have access to fresh, nourishing food. Together, we’ve cultivated more than crops—we’ve cultivated belonging, resilience, and hope.
But as we look toward the year’s end, we’re also facing new challenges.
Recent federal cuts to food access programs and shifts in youth funding have created a significant and unexpected budget shortfall. At the same time, the needs in our community continue to grow—more families are struggling with food insecurity, more youth are seeking direction, and more people are looking for connection and stability.On the GRuB Farm, the work of growing food is also the work of growing people. Youth uncover their potential and resilience. Veterans rediscover healing and belonging. Families gain nourishment and the confidence that comes from feeding themselves and their neighbors.
Your support makes these transformations possible.
“GRuB has changed my life for the better. I would be a completely different person without it. I would be less certain of my future and a lot less stable.”— Youth participant

Its rich relationships, ecosystems, and cultures teach us about reciprocal partnerships, and we acknowledge that it is a privilege to have been able to carry this work forward for so many years.
