This quarter’s Round Up at the Register campaign will run from April 1st-14th and will benefit the Youth Garden Project! For a two-week period, once each quarter, we offer the opportunity for owners and customers to “round up” their purchases to the next whole dollar, to raise funds for a local non-profit’s project or special purchase.
The Youth Garden Project’s mission is to cultivate healthy children, families, and community through educational programs and the profound act of connecting people with food from seed to table. YGP achieves their mission through youth and community programs using their 1.5 acre production garden and orchard. The Garden is at the center of all they do.
The Youth Garden Project serves over 1600 youth and 500 adults in garden-based programs every year.
YGP meets community needs while using the garden as an interdisciplinary learning tool. YGP is making a difference in the way people and future generations relate to and are learning about the environment, local food systems, and growing their own food. In addition, the YGP garden learning environment provides space for youth to develop positive relationships with peers and adults and learn essential skills in team building, communication, healthy eating, and so much more.
Funds from the Round Up campaign will support the Youth Garden Project’s youth and community programs.
