Description
In 2016, the Winder Housing Authority transformed the vacant Winder-Barrow Middle School into the Wimberly Center for Community Development, a hub for community growth in the heart of the Glenwood neighborhood.
That same year, Winder received the prestigious Local Foods, Local Places award, helping launch Wimberly’s Roots as a cornerstone initiative focused on food access, sustainability, and nutrition education.
Located in a USDA-designated food desert, Wimberly’s Roots continues to drive positive change by empowering neighbors hrough produce distribution, gardening, healthy cooking, and community-based programs.
