There is something incredibly powerful about watching food grow with your own hands. 🌱

This past weekend, we picked up supplies from Home Depot before heading to the Nourish Ozone Community Garden, where our team cleared the space, reorganized our growing area for more sunlight, tilled the soil, and transplanted produce to help everything continue thriving.

Every visit reminds us how stronger communities are built. Seed by seed. Plant by plant. Neighbor by neighbor.

One highlight of the weekend was learning from Minister Whitly, who shared stories of growing up on his family's farm in North Carolina, and our lead farmer, Fabina, who shared her experiences growing up in Guyana. Their stories reminded us that gardening preserves tradition, passes down knowledge, and empowers future generations.

Imagine every neighborhood having a place where children learn where food comes from, families harvest fresh produce together, and neighbors reconnect with nature.

That's the future we're working to create.

As a clean water organization, we know every thriving garden begins with one essential resource: clean water. Healthy food, healthy communities, and a healthier future all start there.

We're growing a community resource where clean water, fresh food, environmental education, and community come together.

Now we're inviting you to become part of this story. Whether you volunteer your time, make a donation, or simply share our mission, you're helping us create a healthier, stronger South Ozone Park.

We're currently seeking volunteers and financial support to keep the garden growing while we await our community grant.

It's Transplant Day! 🌱

Today was a big day for the garden.

From early this morning until the evening, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work moving our yellow squash, cucumbers, sweet peppers, and pumpkins into larger pails so they can continue growing strong before making their way into the garden beds.

Along the way, we picked up soil, buckets, gloves, shovels, and a few healthy starter plants from a local garden shop right here in Queens. By the end of the day, we had 32 pails filled with fruits and vegetables, all transplanted, watered, and ready for the next stage of their journey.

One thing we're especially proud of is that we're growing everything organically, from the soil up.

It's amazing what can happen when a community comes together with a shared vision. A few months ago, these were just seeds. Today, they're thriving plants. Soon, they'll help provide fresh food, education, and a space for neighbors to connect.

Slowly but surely, we're turning an empty space into something that can nourish a community for years to come.

If you'd like to support the Nourish Ozone Community Garden and Cultural Learning Space, please make a donation. Every contribution helps us purchase supplies, expand the garden, and increase access to fresh food right here in our community.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. πŸ’§

While Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States, it also challenges us to reflect on the work that remains. Across the country, far too many communities continue to face environmental and public health inequities that impact their quality of life and future opportunities.

At the National Clean Water Collective, we know that access to clean water, healthy environments, and quality resources should never depend on a person's zip code. Every community deserves the opportunity to thrive.

For more than a decade, we've worked alongside residents, youth leaders, schools, and community partners to raise awareness, provide education, and help communities address environmental and public health challenges.

As we look ahead, we're focused on growing our impact, empowering the next generation of leaders, and building stronger, healthier communities across the country.

The work continues, and we invite you to be part of it. Whether as a volunteer, partner, advocate, or supporter, there's a place for you in this movement. Click the link in our bio to find out more.

Happy Juneteenth. β€οΈπŸ–€πŸ’šπŸ’§

Look at this growth! 🌱

Just a few weeks ago, these were tiny seeds. Today, several more of our plants are ready to be transplanted into the garden beds. πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ’§

The Nourish Ozone Community Garden and Cultural Learning Space is slowly coming to life, one plant at a time. What started as a vision is becoming a space where neighbors can grow food, learn new skills, connect with one another, and strengthen our community.

We're looking for volunteers and NYC youth who are passionate about urban farming, environmental justice, sustainability, and making a difference right here in their community.

Want to help us build something special? We'd love to have you join us.

πŸŒ±πŸ’§BIG GARDEN UPDATE!!! πŸ’§πŸŒ±

The cucumbers, yellow squash, sweet peppers, and spinach are thriving, and we just got some exciting news from our lead gardener, Fabina...

A few of our seedlings are already strong enough to be transplanted! πŸŽ‰πŸ’§

Watching these tiny seeds transform into living plants has been incredible. It reminds me how powerful nature really is.

Think about it...

All it takes is a seed, water, sunlight, and a little care to create new life.

A tiny seed that fits in the palm of your hand can grow into something that nourishes families, feeds communities, and creates opportunities for learning and connection.

Every day we are reminded of just how powerful water is. Water sustains life. Water helps seeds break through the soil. Water fuels growth that we can actually see with our own eyes.

What we're witnessing in the Nourish Ozone Community Garden and Cultural Learning Space is more than gardening. It's a reminder that when we invest in the right things and nurture them consistently, growth follows.

The garden is growing, and so is the vision. πŸŒ±πŸ’§βœ¨

We're looking for volunteers, partners, sponsors, and supporters to help us continue building something special for South Ozone Park.

A while ago, we introduced AirPAC through the Future on the Line project and shared a vision for raising awareness around asthma, air quality, and environmental justice in our communities.

Last week, AirPAC officially received funding through a Citizens NYC grant.

Nearly 20% of children in the Bronx are living with asthma, one of the highest rates in the country. At the same time, New York City is increasing investments into asthma prevention and intervention efforts because the impact on families and communities is impossible to ignore.

This grant comes at the right time.

AirPAC was created to educate, advocate, and push for healthier communities through youth leadership and public awareness around air quality and asthma.

We want to recognize Joanne, the Team Lead of the AirPAC project and a member of the Youth Council, for continuing to move this work forward with consistency and commitment. A lot of people support ideas at the beginning. Very few stay committed long enough to help build something real.

The next phase of AirPAC is focused on expanding outreach, increasing education, building partnerships, and creating more conversations around asthma and air quality across NYC.

Just received the presentation footage from our recent Earth Day Presentation with Good Shepherd Services and the response from the audience was incredible. πŸ’§

We are extremely proud of Joanne and Jemari for presenting with confidence, conviction, and leadership as they shared highlights from the Poison to Prison Pipeline Project.

Our scholars have been putting in real work behind the scenes through research, data collection, storytelling, and presentation preparation and it showed. The level of focus, professionalism, and passion they brought into the room was powerful to witness.

A special thank you to Good Shepherd Services for creating space for our scholars and Executive Chairman to share their voices and for the opportunity to present this important work.

This is what youth leadership looks like.

Watch until the end to catch a few highlights from the presentation. πŸ‘€

β€œ41% of all service lines in NYC show possible lead contamination.”

That was one of the biggest things people reacted to when Po***ck presented at the 2026 Youth Action Fifty Summit. πŸ’§

Po***ck spoke about lead contamination, environmental injustice, and what it means for families across New York City to not fully trust the water coming from their taps.

From students to public officials, people were genuinely shocked by how serious the issue is and how many communities are still being impacted.

We’re proud of Po***ck for stepping up and using his voice to bring more awareness to this issue and represent the NCWC Youth Council so well.

Watch the full video to hear Po***ck talk about the experience and why this work matters. πŸ‘‡
