Victory Garden Initiative

Victory Garden Initiative We build communities that grow their own food to create a community-led, socially just, environmentally sustainable, nutritious food system for all. Move grass.

This is a grassroots movement. Grow Food. Victory Garden Initiative believes that every person, in every household, must connect to their food source, through the act of growing it. This act reminds us that we are of the earth, that we cannot live without the earth, that our needs our met, not by the economy, but from the earth. Growing food will re-integrate us with deep ecology, guiding our culture towards a sustainable, abundant future, freed from financial inequalities.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re feeling thankful for the connections made, the partnerships built, and the community that continues to support this work (you!).

We’re heading into 2026 with excitement as we grow as an organization and expand the ways we serve our community. It’s a new year, but our commitment remains the same: showing up to meet the needs of our community.

Thank you for watching us grow, helping us grow, and supporting us through donations and volunteer hours. We’re so grateful to be doing this work alongside such an incredible community ✨

This year, at our annual Gather & Gobble turkey and meal giveaway, reporter Maayan Silver came to listen and learn directly from our neighbors about their experiences with food access and economic uncertainty. Those conversations were included in a story for All Things Considered, as part of a broader discussion about the current administration.

We’re sharing this to center the people we serve and to highlight why this work matters in our community
