We have some incredible news to share... King Charles spent yesterday afternoon with beloved former SparkYouth Grantee, 👑🌱

SparkYouth was an early investor in Harlem Grown. When we started funding them in 2018, they were already having a remarkable impact, just on a much smaller scale. Since then (and in part, thanks to SparkYouth’s support), they’ve grown 5x, serving 30,000+ community members, distributing over 200,000 pounds of food annually, and on top of it all, hosting royalty!

What an honor to be part of Harlem Grown’s journey!💛🌳

A very special thank you to our inspiring Young Leaders, our dedicated Board of Directors and Event Co-Chairs, and our phenomenal Honorees, Katie Keenan, Dean Adler, and Grace C. Bonilla, Esq.

Your record-breaking support will help our organizations become stronger, more resilient assets for their communities, while creating stability in the lives of thousands of young people, and a brighter future for all of us.
