Homeless Garden Project

About

We're a nonprofit organization based in Santa Cruz with a mission to build a thriving and inclusive community, workforce, and local food system. Our mission is to provide people experiencing homelessness with the tools they need to build a home in the world. We believe gardening is essential for helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. The farm is a very healing place to be, and our work fills basic needs like nourishing people. It provides a sense of purpose and control over one’s life, which is often missing for those who experience homelessness.
