Save to Favorites

Help us help kids and families in low-income food-insecure communities in Brooklyn.

We need volunteers and donors to help us.

NOTE: Be ready to be a self-starter or a leader. We need everyone ready to do something and take the lead to get it done. Okay?

We will be hosting a community fresh food giveaway and healthy cooking event with other fun activities at the Seeds in the Middle Community Action Spot at 318 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.

We also will be helping to clean up and set up a commercial kitchen in Carroll Gardens so we can teach healthy cooking there. Particularly seeking chefs to tell us how to best organize and who might want to teach youth there at later dats.

Third event: In Brownsville, Brooklyn - help at event to collect signatures for our petition for a Brownsville fresh market -

Virtual - please just get folks to sign our petitioins - goal is 500 signatures

Help us fight food insecurity and empower all to eat fresh and grow.

Seeds in the Middle opens student-run farm stands, grows gardens and engages all to cook healthy at schools in our highest need neighborhoods.

We know people of color - mainly African-Americans and Latinx residents - are dying at twice or three times the rates. of those more affluent due to underlying conditions like diabetes, heart disease, obesity. The CDC says all these preventable diseases can be avoided if people have easy, affordable, nearby access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
