WHO ARE WE?
WE ARE A COLLECTIVE!
Evanston Grows is a collective impact organization dedicated to bringing together resources in the Evanston community to reduce food insecurity through increasing access to locally-grown produce and building community connections.
Founded in April 2021, Evanston Grows brings together diverse stakeholders—including non-profits, community gardens, private residences, schools, and businesses—to develop a common agenda and solutions for addressing the inequity in our community that has resulted in food injustice.
In short, the Evanston Grows collective works together to increase locally grown free fresh food to share!
OUR MISSION
To partner with the Evanston Community to cultivate and sustain health equity by increasing edible gardens throughout the City, with a special focus on providing access to gardening resources – materials, space, education, workforce development, and mentorship – for all.
DEI STATEMENT
At Evanston Grows, we are dedicated to a world where justice, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are paramount. We believe in providing opportunities and resources to all in our community.
THE GARDENS supported BY EVANSTON GROWS ARE CULTIVATED BY AND FOR THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN WHICH EACH GARDEN IS LOCATED, TO WELCOME THE COMMUNITY TO HARVEST, EAT AND ENJoy.
