Grow And Share is a non-profit fighting hunger through promotion of gardening and community building. We work to grow interest in gardening for home use, and grow interest–and passion–in creation of Shared Gardens(TM) and Community Gardens in neighborhoods throughout the US.

We believe that US residents can feed themselves and those around them; they all will benefit from the sharing. What we have to gain is full American tummies, smaller carbon footprints, safer local food, self reliant homes, pride, stronger communities, healthier bodies, and better quality of life!

Combating hunger throughout the US is critical during these economic times, and crucial to our future food supply. We are here to encourage US residents to take the time to:

• grow some of their own healthy food
• become more self reliant
• share their harvest with their community
• fight hunger by shared food reaching those who need it

We help with supplies to allow more gardeners to bring their gardens to life.  We help them to make a difference in their communities.  We educate children and adults in the community and assist them as they make changes, grow, and share. The gardeners, their families, and those in need eat healthy fresh foods.

While Grow And Share is not a faith-based organization, one of the sayings — the garden’s edge — we use comes from Leviticus 19:9 and 10. To paraphrase those Bible verses, when we reap the harvest of our land we shall not reap our field right up to its edge, neither shall we gather the gleanings after our harvest. We shall leave them [the edges and extras] for the poor and for the sojourner.

Our Mission:   Change US food availability from the ground up through education, widespread gardening, and food distribution assistance, allowing all of us to combat hunger in America together.

 We are a non-profit corporation. Our incorporation state is North Carolina.

Grow And Share is operating as a 501(c)(3).
