Urban farming is growing fast in recession
Give now to help new KC Growers
I don’t usually write a fundraising appeal in the middle of the summer–we’re too busy on the farm. But this year is different. More people than ever before are asking for KCCUA’s help in starting new urban farms and gardens.
To meet these needs, we’ve put more staff in the field helping grow new farmers. And we’re giving low-income people seeds and supplies so they can grow food.
Please make a donation to help these new growers.
When you give to KCCUA you’re growing good in KC. Individual giving supports our core mission.
Individual contributions help pay for basic needs like:
- An hour with a KCCUA staff member to identify a pest or disease. Cost: $50
- Business management consultation with a new farmer. Cost: $75
- Workshop on Drip Irrigation and Water Conservation for farmers. Cost: $125
- Straw mulch to conserve moisture and improve soil for a new farmer at the Training Farm at Juniper Gardens. Cost: $175
- Water for 20 community gardeners at Juniper Gardens. Cost: $400
Donate securely online to help keep Kansas City growing! It’s great to have so much passion and energy going into growing food here in Kansas City. Thank you for helping make it happen.
Best wishes,
Katherine Kelly
