In 2023 we were proud to support an innovative Harlem-based non-profit organization called Harlem

 

Grown whose mission is to inspire youth to lead healthy and ambitious lives through mentorship and

 

hands-on education in urban farming, sustainability, and nutrition.

​

Our funding went to support the Summer Solstice Event and enhanced summer programming at one of the farms in Harlem.  The activities were aimed at elementary-aged school children and included an outdoor mobile library, yoga classes, hydroponics workshops, and a number of other outdoor family-focused fun.  The farms are renovated and reinvigorated abandoned lots in Harlem which have been transformed into thriving urban gardens with soil-based farms, hydroponics greenhouses, livestock, and school gardens.

​

We look forward to continuing to support local initiatives that improve the lives of children and families living in Harlem.
