Mission

Farming Hope manages a culinary job training program for community members who are overcoming obstacles such as former incarceration or homelessness. Our paid employment program helps adults transition to personal well-being and employment while nourishing neighbors who are food-insecure and rescuing food from landfills. The need to be needed informs the work we do at Farming Hope, and fuels our pursuit of lasting social change in our community. Our mission is to empower folks experiencing major barriers to employment to grow and cook food to sustain themselves and their communities.
