Growing Food Resiliency- An Opportunity to Share Your Story
A huge THANK YOU to the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona!
CGT extends its deepest gratitude for the $5,000 We Are One | Somos Uno Resiliency Fund grant we received to support critical staffing needs and additional scholarships for our low income and pandemic – impacted gardeners. CFSA’s purpose is “To create an equitable and vibrant community for all Southern Arizonans.” Their support strengthens our own ability to play an important role in fulfilling that purpose. Thank you!

The Foundation’s incredible generosity will provide us with critical resources to continue our work in underserved communities and support those at greatest risk from COVID-19 so that they might bring fresh, healthy and nutritious food from garden to table. We extend heartfelt thanks to the Foundation for its philanthropic spirit and investment in our programs, and for inspiring us to help make Tucson a more sustainable and food-resilient City!
We thank the Troller Fund, held at the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona!
Community Gardens of Tucson expresses our deepest thanks and appreciation for the $2,500 grant recently awarded to us by the Troller Fund, held at the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona. The incredible generosity and philanthropic spirit of the donors directing these funds to CGT will provide the organization with critical resources to continue our work in underserved communities and those at greatest risk from COVID-19 so that they might bring fresh, healthy and nutritious food from garden to table. It is because of caring, compassionate and committed donors, such as these, that we are able to make the world a better place and Tucson a more sustainable and food-resilient City!
Much Gratitude to Sprouts Farmers Market Employee Rachel Miller!
As part of the Sprouts Farmers Market Employee Wellness program, one team member is selected each month to award a $2,500 donation to a nonprofit of their choice. Thanks to the nomination made by Sprouts employee Rachel Miller, Community Gardens was selected as the November winner to receive the donation. Rachel, who has a deep respect for the environment and gardening said that “Nominating Community Gardens of Tucson to receive the award was a logical choice because of their commitment in helping local families grow fresh and healthy food for their table.”
CGT wants to thank both Rachel and the Sprouts Healthy Community Foundation for their generous support of our program and mission, “to build community gardens where Tucsonans grow food, work and learn together, and nurture well-being in our communities.”
