Giving Grove started as an idea to bring food forests to a local food desert, and has since become a national network of community orchards.
Long-standing partnerships with 1% for the Planet Members like Yes Apples, PCNA, OXO, KC Brick Store and Don't Die In The Woods have helped The Giving Grove reach an immense milestone: one million people now live within walking distance of the impact partner’s orchards.
And the coolest part? At the same time, PCNA passed their own milestone, contributing $1 million to Giving Grove through their 1% for the Planet commitment! 🥳
When talking about their sustained support, Sarah Sikich, The Giving Grove’s Director of Marketing & Communications, said, “That flexibility is incredibly valuable to a growing nonprofit. It allows us to invest where resources are needed most, whether that means supporting our affiliate network, developing tools and training for orchard stewards, or building the capacity to bring community orcharding to new cities.”
Cheers to more flourishing orchards ahead! 🍎
