Properly designed goals need a vehicle to push an organization forward.

A well-prepared concept will unify an organization and inform decisions.

The mission of Our Giving Garden is to serve through sustainable food access, connect with their families through education, and engage with their community through
enriched programming. They currently engage the community through educational programming of classes, camps and workshops. Our Giving Garden also host regular
seasonal events like market pop up shops featuring local businesses and vendors, and free events for the community during seasonal holidays. The organization is able to

provide food access through their food donations, free CSA program and Little Free Pantry. All fresh produce and egg donations are given to local food pantries, and the
Little Free Pantry is stocked regularly by volunteers.

Our Giving Garden provides educational access through a series of camps, classes and preschool on site. In addition, there are educational workshops for families and

adults around topics of gardening, nutrition, and life skills. Sustainable practices are extremely important to us as an organization. Our Giving Garden already integrates
water conservation through rain water harvesting in rain barrels, regenerative agriculture practices through composting food waste and animal manure, wind energy and
integrated recycled materials in our garden and classes when possible.
