2020 just keeps coming at us. Just remember, we are all in this together, and that is exactly how we will get through this– TOGETHER!

We invite you to join us this Saturday, September 26th from 1:00-2:30 pm for an introduction to Cooperation Humboldt’s Food Team and to find out how you can get involved!

We believe that access to nutritious, culturally appropriate food is a fundamental human right and should never be dependent on wealth or income. So all of our projects are grounded in that belief.

Our past accomplishments include:

– Establishing 12 Little Free Pantries, with 11 more about to be installed.

– Completing 15 front lawn conversions (turning unused grass into productive organic gardens).

– Setting up over 240 mini gardens for low-income residents since the pandemic hit.

– Planting 80+ free community fruit trees.

– Numerous other educational events/offerings…

***Our newest project (and one where we need lots of help!) is taking over production of the Local Food Guide.***

We have two wonderful accomplishments to share with you today.

First, thanks so much to everyone who donated during the month of August. We exceeded our matching funds grant goal to raise $10,620 (which makes $20,620 including the matching funds)! This generosity supports so many empowering projects that we provide to our community, which leads to our second celebration…

Last Saturday as part of our ‘Mini Garden Extravaganza’ event, we installed a whopping 78 gardens in one day! This brings us to 241 total gardens installed for the season. Huge thanks and appreciation go out to all of the amazing volunteers who joined forces to make this possible.

It’s been heartwarming to read the messages of thanks from those who received mini gardens on Saturday, and we wanted to share a few with you, since this would not have been possible without your support!

“In short, WOW! I absolutely love our mini garden. I am looking forward to seeing how the garden changes as it grows. As a first time gardener I really appreciate the size. Thank you for considering our family.” – Jacqueline

“I am so fortunate to have received a mini garden this past Saturday. Thank you to Cooperation Humboldt for affording my son and I the opportunity to learn and eat healthier. We can’t wait to watch them grow and one day cook with veggies from our own backyard!” – Natassia

“The garden is just the perfect size for me, and the timing for fall is spot on. And the greatest thing is I could never have done this for myself. With my arthritis it would be just too much. The young men who brought the pot and soil were so pleasant and a joy to meet. And the ladies with the plants were so swift and did a great job. A job well done by four of the nicest people  I have met in quite a while.” – Tricia

“My family and I are so happy every time we look at our new garden. We are so grateful for the food and experiences we will get from this. Our community is amazing, Cooperation Humboldt you’ve really blessed us! Thank you.” – Khianna

“I was so excited and pleased that I was chosen to receive a mini garden. I am 67 and my wife is 66 and we live in a trailer park with limited space. This small garden will give us purpose and enjoyment in our lives. Thank you thank you very much.” – Ron

As always, we encourage you to reach out to us with any questions, comments or suggestions.
