Saturday night, more than 400 of you gathered in the Beanstalk Garden to support the work of Kansas City Community Gardens, and the vision that by empowering people to grow their own food, we can put healthy food in reach of more people in more neighborhoods across our city.
With your help, we've come incredibly close to reaching an exciting new fundraising milestone this year. But before we announce the night's grand total, we have one more request.
Our Fund-a-Need project this year will provide the equipment and supplies that KCCG needs to double its greenhouse production, enabling us to serve the growing number of people who are coming to us, ready to start growing.
Why it Matters: In the last 15 years, the number of home gardening households that rely on KCCG has quadrupled. The number of community sites we supply with seeds, plants, and assistance has grown eight-fold.
Why Now: Our greenhouse space is maxed out, but in 2027, we have opportunities to utilize additional greenhouse space that could double our current capacity. We need your help to equip the space with the supplies that bring these spaces to life.
The Ask: We're just $15,000 away from our goal! Your gift today helps us fully equip our greenhouses for the 2027 growing season. What will you help grow?
