Community Garden Cultivation
This portion of Cultivate The Community is the empowerment arm of our Initiative. Reintroducing neighbors, friends and family to a practice that sustained many of our ancestors who had to make a way from no way. We will continue the building of community gardens across the “food desert” areas of DFW until everyone has equitable access to green spaces to cultivate fresh healthy produce for their communities and themselves . See what a day of community garden can look like in the video.
Contributing Community Organizations : Victory Gardens | Volunteering While Black | Commissary Is Very Necessary | The Awakened Foundation | 2 Inspire Peace
Our vision is an empowered community with equitable access to both purchase fresh healthy produce and spaces to grow their own. The Cultivate The Community Initiative is how we will achieve our mission of a healthier, stronger and more self-reliant community.

Produce Access Cultivation
This portion of Cultivate The Community is the sustenance arm of our Initiative, and where our mission began. As our community is defined as a “food desert” our first order of business is to provide equitable access to fresh produce to our community. We will continue to meet that community need in this format while working collectively build a localized more sustainable infrastructure to provide for that need. Currently our work is 100% volunteer powered sustained by the cooperative efforts of multiple community organizations.
