Grow Hope Urban Farm

Grow Hope Urban Farm We are "growing hope and cultivating community!" Grow Hope Urban Farm is a community development ministry of Hope For The Inner City in East Chattanooga.

As you may know, The Grow Hope Urban Farm is rooted in East Chattanooga, in the heart of our city’s expansive food desert; a community where 30-40% of households depend upon SNAP benefits to help put food on the table each month. 25-30% of households struggle below the poverty level and unemployment rates are steadily discouraging year after year. I am certain you can see the great advantage to pl

anting the farm in the center of the food desert! The Grow Hope Urban Farm, which began several years ago as a summer youth program, will begin sowing seeds of economic development by providing paid, hands-on work experience to young men from the surrounding neighborhoods as job readiness training, one component of a larger employment assistance program of Hope For The Inner City. By coming alongside as partners, the support will encourage young men to confront and overcome many obstacles to lasting employment. Poverty is an insult. Empowering people with skills and confidence affirms dignity. The meaningful work of providing their neighbors with fresh nutritious food grows hope!
