Knox County Community Gardens & Growers Alliance

We are a community-driven organization dedicated to fighting and eliminating food insecurity and promoting healthy living. Our initiative focuses on building community gardens, educating our members on gardening and healthy living, and distributing fresh produce to the community. Through our programs and partnerships, we seek to create a sense of community, purpose, and hope. We plan to track the total number of pounds grown, harvested, and distributed to the community, as well as the pounds of produce contributed by our members, to measure the success of our approach. A byproduct of our work is that it will preserve, restore, and enhance pride in the beauty, productivity, and creativity of our community. We believe that by having easy access to healthy, fresh produce, individuals’ physical and mental health will improve. Our focus on education and youth development is at the core of our mission, and we plan to partner with other organizations to create a food/community/education center to support their programs. We invite you to join us as a member and help us make a difference in our community. By becoming a member of the Alliance, you will have access to our educational programs, community events, and gardening resources. You will also be part of a community that shares your commitment to fighting food insecurity and promoting healthy living. As a member of the Alliance, you will be included in our directory of local gardens and growers, where you can connect with others in your community who share your passion for gardening and healthy living. We believe that by working together, we can make a significant impact on the health and well-being of our community and eliminate food insecurity.

As a community-driven organization, we are dedicated to fighting and eliminating food insecurity, promoting healthy living and empowering our members to grow, harvest, and distribute fresh produce to our underserved community.
