About Us
Food Justice NW Aurora (FJNWA) is transforming the local food system while increasing local food production, improving access to nutritious and culturally important food, and building a food justice movement.
The Cultivate Aurora project is a collaborative initiative to support existing and new community gardens, support urban agriculture education, and to revitalize unused land to build a community greenhouse.
Help Us Bring Our Greenhouse to Life!
3 in 5 people in NW Aurora are experiencing or at risk of food insecurity, which is 5 times higher than the state average. This means that 60% of residents lack consistent economic resources to afford safe, adequate, and nutritious food to support an active and healthy life for all household members.
FJNWA is working to build and sustain a community greenhouse and establish a hub for urban food production and education. With support from partners and residents, this greenhouse will provide affordable plant starts, community workshops, and job training opportunities year-round
Your help will strengthen the launch of our community greenhouse project, creating a unique opportunity to make growing food more accessible for residents and reduce reliance on external food systems.
Help us reach our $2,500 goal with one-time or monthly contributions:
- A $10 contribution provides 3 packets of culturally-important seeds
- A $25 contribution compensates an intern for 1 hour of work
- A $50 contribution provides a set of garden tools for staff and volunteers
- A $75 contribution provides language interpretation for an educational program
- A $100 contribution covers the costs for a youth gardening education workshop
- Monthly donations support the long-term sustainability of the greenhouse and its programs
Join the movement and support our efforts to create a just, sustainable, and complete food environment in NW Aurora!
