What We Do
For more than a decade, The Giving Garden has been bringing people together to grow fresh, healthy food for families facing food insecurity in the Greater Lawrence area. Using regenerative farming practices on our half-acre farm, volunteers from schools, businesses, faith communities, and youth organizations help transform seeds into thousands of pounds of produce.
Volunteering in the garden is more than pulling weeds - it’s planting hope. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just learning, there’s a place for you here.
