OUR STORY GROWS PROGRAM
Our Story Grows is a transformative program…
designed to provide both immediate nourishment and long-term food sustainability. Rooted in the belief that access to high-quality, nutrient-dense food should be a right, not a privilege, this program empowers communities by addressing food insecurity at its core. Through a combination of direct food support, sustainable growing resources, and community engagement, Our Story Grows ensures individuals and families are not only fed today but equipped with the tools to thrive for years to come.
INITIATIVE 1: “BLOOMING STORIES”
Blooming Stories is the long-term pillar of the Our Story Grows program, planting the foundation for lasting food security. This initiative provides farm-fresh, organic, chemical-free seed packets, empowering individuals and families to grow their own food and take control of their nourishment. More than just seeds, Blooming Stories fosters self-sufficiency, reconnecting communities with the power of growing their own fresh produce. By planting these seeds, families don’t just cultivate food—they cultivate resilience, sustainability, and a deeper connection to the land.
INITIATIVE 2: “VERSE ON THE VINE”
Verse on the Vine is the immediate relief portion of the Our Story Grows program, ensuring families have access to fresh, organic nourishment when they need it most. Each quarter, selected families receive a farm-fresh, chemical-free produce box delivered right to their doorstep. This initiative provides not just food, but dignity—offering high-quality, nutrient-dense produce without barriers. Verse on the Vine bridges the gap between hunger and sustainability, giving families the immediate support they need while reinforcing the importance of long-term nourishment.
INITIATIVE 3: “PARTY AT THE MARKET”
Party at the Market is the heart of the Our Story Grows program, bringing the community together for an annual free farmers market that redefines food access. Designed to mirror a traditional farmers market—just without the price tags—marketgoers can shop their own farm-fresh, organic produce and order from menus featuring hot, chef-prepared meals. This initiative isn’t just about food; it’s about dignity, choice, and the experience of enjoying high-quality nourishment without financial barriers. Party at the Market transforms the act of receiving aid into an uplifting, empowering event where everyone is welcome.
