How amazing would it be to be a part of an organization that is still in its infancy grow and explode from a local organization to a regional and then on to a national level?
Garden of Health is seeking board members to help with our fast-paced growth. In August we will be electing board members to help us with marketing, legal, financial, entrepreneurial, social services, gardening, letter writing, phone, and fundraising. If you believe in our mission and have an interest in helping our organization this is your opportunity!
Please message me if you have questions or would like to learn more. We are always in need of general volunteers if a board position isn’t right for you at this time!

Mission Statement
Provide special dietary food and fresh produce to low-income individuals in the Montgomery County area To be a key player in the distribution and education of dietary needs of lower income individuals
Description
We currently distribute fresh produce and special dietary foods to more than a dozen pantries. We get regular donations from manufacturers of special dietary foods. We also have opportunities for groups, organizations or individuals can get a list of foods we need and do a collection for us. Last year we distributed over 30,000 pounds of fresh produce to our pantry partners and low-income senior housing and senior centers that provide a free or reduced lunch for seniors during the week.
We have a partnership with a wholesale produce distributor and several farms. They call us when they have extra produce. We pick it up and distribute it. We are on track to double the amount we did last year.
We also have a gardening program where we teach low-income families how to grow their own organic produce. We give them a place to grow, plants, and seeds. Everything they grow is extra food for the families to keep. This year we have 15 families participating with 20 plots planted!
