#GivingTuesday

At Amir, we believe gardens are transformative and seeds are revolutionary. Planting a seed and growing food offers a chance to learn about the world around us, reflect on our roles in it and nourish our bodies and soul. 

This year we met the challenge of our time by redirecting our efforts to bring gardens to them! At-home garden kits gave a taste of summer camp and a welcome addition to online schooling to 152 families. As an added bonus, with all the extra food growing in yards we were able to redistribute 313 pounds of excess produce to local food distribution hubs.

As farmers, we are eternal optimists and are already planting the seeds for tomorrow’s harvest, but we need your help! Our goal for 2021 is to reach over 5,000 kids through safe and socially distant programming with our summer camp partners. In addition we are collaborating with local teachers to help another 200 families start their own garden at home. 

We rely on supporters like you to provide transformative experiences that start in the garden and last a lifetime. With your help, we can offer the materials, training and resources that connect kids with the land. Your donation not only allows us to offer exciting programming, it makes a more just and compassionate world possible.
