How GardenWorksProj helps fight food insecurity and hunger in the suburbs by promoting home gardening. CaringInAction
Wheaton nonprofit The GardenWorks Project hopes the same can be said for teaching people how to garden.
The project relies heavily on volunteers to make its programs a success. And there are plenty of ways community members can help out, even if you don't have a green thumb. Our work extends into the community by working with civic organizations to provide community-based projects and educational initiatives to increase food availability for food pantries. We partner with over 50 emergency food assistance agencies, health and nutrition service agencies, horticulture programs, local business sponsors, garden clubs, and over 200 volunteers annually to achieve our goals.
• Food Growers Network: This annual membership program aims to support all local food growers desiring to grow food for themselves or for neighbors in need. Members receive resources and gardening support. In our 2022 inaugural season using FCC, 46 FCC gardeners helped us donate over 1,600 pounds of produce to food pantries throughout DuPage County.• Volunteer with us: We offer volunteer opportunities throughout the year to provide education and training so everyone can grow food for themselves and others.
