Growing to Give’s mission is to grow organic vegetables using climate-friendly farming methods, and donate them to local people struggling with food insecurity. We believe the way we farm matters. That is why we are certified organic, amend our soil with carbon sequestering biochar, use mostly solar powered farm equipment and low-till farming practices. Since 2017, we have grown and donated over 50,000 pounds of organic vegetables providing thousands of local people with fresh, healthy food.

Seed Savers Exchange’s mission is to conserve and promote America’s culturally diverse but endangered garden and food crop heritage for current and future generations by collecting, growing, and sharing heirloom seeds and plants. Requests for seeds are flowing in via multiple channels, and we are working to keep our employees safe while meeting the sharply increased demand for seeds—symbols of security, hope, and resilience—in these uncertain times. Enhancing access to open-pollinated seeds directly impacts access to fresh, healthy food.
