Day 2 of Transform Week is complete, and our volunteers continue to amaze us!

Across the Taylor and Time Check neighborhoods, crews worked tirelessly to make critical repairs and improvements. One thing we heard over and over today was how much this work means to the homeowners. The gratitude, smiles, and heartfelt thanks from homeowners are a powerful reminder of why Transform Week matters.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers for their hard work and dedication, and to Lovely Lane United Methodist Church for providing a wonderful lunch that kept everyone fueled and ready to serve!

Together, we're not just repairing homes. We are strengthening our community one project at a time.

Day 1 of the 11th Annual Transform Week is in the books, and what an incredible start it was!

Our amazing volunteers spent the day in the Taylor and Time Check neighborhoods, helping homeowners with projects they simply can't tackle on their own. From painting and repairs to landscaping and cleanup, every project completed today is helping preserve homes and strengthen our community.

A huge shoutout to St. Ludmila Catholic Church for the fantastic lunch you provided to fuel our hardworking crews — we’re so grateful for your support and partnership!

Thank you to every volunteer, homeowner, sponsor, and partner who helped make Day 1 a success. We can't wait to see the impact the rest of the week will bring!

We were honored to be selected for this Preservation Iowa award!

Take a look back at all the fun from our May market. It was an evening filled with laughter, great conversations, and celebrating all the things that make our community special.

Now we're getting ready to do it all again!

Join us for our next Cultivate Community Market next Thursday, June 25. Come shop local vendors, enjoy fresh food, connect with neighbors, and experience the vibrant community atmosphere at the Cultivate Hope Urban Farm.

We can't wait to see you there!

Our Food Camp students had a fantastic time at yesterday's Urban-Farm-to-Table Culinary Camp!
From learning new kitchen skills to creating delicious recipes, campers spent the day exploring the joy of cooking in a fun, hands-on environment. Along the way, they built confidence, practiced teamwork, and discovered just how rewarding it can be to make healthy food from scratch.
A big thank you to all of our young chefs for bringing such great energy and enthusiasm to the kitchen today.
This Friday at the Farm Day Camp is still available if you have a child who is interested: matthew-25.org/camps
