As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on your generosity and partnership to cultivate healthy, connected communities. Your tax-deductible donation helps us nourish the community and provide fresh food to those who need it most.
All donations received between November 24 and December 31 will support our Year-End Appeal.
Your gift, unless indicated anonymous, will be recognized on our GoFundMe page.
Impact
We cultivate healthy, connected communities by integrating sustainable agriculture, food justice, and ancient Jewish wisdom. Guided by Jewish agricultural traditions and values, Coastal Roots Farm donates a portion of what we grow to those who lack access to fresh food through our on-site pay-what-you-can Farm Stand, no-cost mobile Farm Stands, and direct donations to hunger relief organizations. Since inception, the Farm has donated more than half of our harvest to those in our community who lack access to healthy food. The Farm serves the most vulnerable populations, including Holocaust survivors, immigrants, single-parent families, active military and veterans. Our educational and community events have reached 30,000 individuals.
Farm Founders Circle
Make a direct impact in your community by increasing food security for families who need it most. The Farm Founders Circle is our annual giving campaign that offers opportunities to engage with Coastal Roots Farm, share in our harvest, and support our mission. As a member of the Farm Founders Circle, your donation will provide fresh, organic, and sustainably-grown produce to two food- and nutrition-insecure families—one of which is military—every month.
Member benefits include:
- Monthly basket of farm-fresh produce or Farm Stand credit (restrictions apply)
- Invitations to special Farm programs and events
- One private Farm Tour for up to 15 people
- Special Mishloach Manot gift during the Jewish holiday of Purim
