Cultivating Accessibility and Sustainability in Ypsilanti's Food System
Over the past two decades, Growing Hope has continuously moved the needle to address chronic diet-related health diseases and food insecurity within the Ypsilanti area. Despite progress, many community members continue to experience barriers to fresh produce. Growing Hope will use this grant to invest in garden infrastructure for the farm on Michigan Avenue in Ypsilanti to expand fresh food production and processing and to ensure that the farm is accessible to Ypsilanti residents with mobility or other challenges.
