As the year comes to a close, we invite you to join us in making a lasting impact on youth, food security, and community connections. At Fresh Roots, we believe in the power of growing—not just food, but opportunities for youth to develop leadership skills, build connections, and deepen their relationship with the land.
In 2024, your support helped us grow over 7,320 pounds of fresh, nutritious produce and provide more than 16,000 hours of hands-on learning in our outdoor classrooms.
I learned a lot about farm work- tool usage and weeding-, how to take care of plants like tomatoes or garlic, and I learned how to communicate efficiently and enthusiastically. Because of Fresh Roots SOYL program, I was able to take some more independence in my life about standing my ground, speaking up about my opinions, and trying new things.

Now, as we look to 2025, your donation can help us grow even more. Every dollar you give will empower youth like Bella, who gained confidence and independence through our SOYL program, and support the next generation of food citizens. Together, we can continue to cultivate thriving schoolyard farms and resilient communities.
Your gift today will plant the seeds for a brighter, more connected future.
