Fall 2024

Dear Friends and Partners in Community,

We are on fire about how our programs transform lives.  

As we feel the autumn chill, we reflect on the powerful stories from the past year and what we want to cultivate in the seasons ahead.   

We are grateful for the many hearts and hands that have joined us this year to build gardens, steward the farm, share their bounty, and connect through collaborative learning.  With this abundance, thousands of people have more agency in their lives, and resources to create change in their communities.   

We call you to join us in collective action and solidarity to raise $75,000 by the end of the year.  

Join our community of support at a level that is right for you.  Your donation will help us sustain our programs through all the seasons.  

Now, more than ever, we need places to gather in community together, where we are nourished and have a sense of belonging.  Wishing you a warm and supportive winter season.

Yours in Community,

Bertiffiny Sumbry & Deb Crockett

More About GRuB from Program Staff:
     

 

So many helping hands, minds, and hearts have brought us along, and we feel so rooted in the soil of the Farm and this place. 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. 

We would like to invite you to join us in this work 
by donating at a level that is the right match for you! 
 We wouldn't be GRuB without "u"!
