What if people had the resources to get the food they need to feed their family?
People in need of food assistance are often managing multiple challenges, including:
Unemployment or Underemployment: no income, or not enough income, to meet their household’s needs
Education Gaps: wanting to continue their education, but worrying about the costs associated with that
Childcare: ensuring that their children are cared and provided for
Transportation: lack of reliable transportation, limiting gainful job opportunities
Access to Affordable Healthcare: needing to see a physician for chronic health issues but unable to, resulting in missed work days
Together We Grow (TWG) is a holistic long term approach to overcoming food insecurity – bringing together community partners, motivated participants, and TWG staff to provide coaching and development, practical experience in a garden learning lab, and sustained support as participants grow.
