Good day to all. As we continue celebrating 6 years of growing fresh food in Milwaukee. We are proud to announce that this past growing season, 2026, we gave away many pounds of food. We had 50 sons perform service in the garden and in the community.

It was with your help and donations, that we were able to accomplish this. Today more young sons, will gather in the garden to work. We are completing harvest time and we still have free food for you. Food sown and grown by the hands of our young Sons. Your help is still needed.

We are asking you to make a donation of your choice today. Each son is given $40 each for 4 hours of work. You can give through PayPal thecagemke or stop by the garden, in person.

Did I also mention that we do hydroponics in the basement of Firehouse 5. It allows us the ability to grow food all year long.

It's a lot of work. We are a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization. We appreciate and value any help we receive. Give today and help us continue. Stop by today and meet our sons get you some food, fresh from the garden.

"As long as they have their hands in the soil, they can keep them off the trigger of a gun "
Our Motto

We thank you in advance for your giving. Help us to keep on helping us. Come get a tour.

Go to PayPal thecagemke and give. Your help is needed and appreciated. Thank you.

What a successful growing season we experienced. 6 years and counting.

We are now preparing for our fall and winter growing season. Our indoor hydroponics growing and herbal Experiences.

We need your help in two ways. We need donations to pay our sons and to buy supplies to help us grow food.

We understand the struggles of life, but if your able to donate $10 or a donation of your choice, you can help us reach our goal. We are trying to raise $5000.

Asking all that will to go to PayPal thecagemke or Zelle using 414-779-2476 and give.

Here's how we give back. The food we grow is free and you can visit the garden between 8 AM and Noon and receive freshly grown food from our sons.

When you give a donation of $20 or more you can receive one of our signature "CAGE" water bottles, donated by Best Ed Supplies.

We are also a 501 c 3 non-profit organization and all donations you or your organization make can receive that benefit.

6 years is a big accomplishment and we are already into year 7.

Thank you to everyone that already helps us. If you can continue, please do.

It is truly your help that help us continue to give back to our community, our city. We are thankful and we value your giving. $10 goes a long way.

FYI:
We are looking for 3 strong new members to add to our board of directors. For more information inbox me or call (414)779-2476.

We are growing and with your help we can grow more. Thank you in advance for any help you give.
