Our Story
ABOUT US
Project Roots AZ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community garden based in Glendale, Arizona. We combat food insecurity by providing fresh produce from our garden and distributing it to the community through various distribution channels, such as home delivery for Seniors and families, food bank and pantry donations. Additionally, we offer educational workshops to empower individuals interested in growing their own food.
OUR MISSION
To create a more just and nourished world by advancing food justice through advocacy, hands-on education, and the equitable distribution of fresh, healthy food.
OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY, ACCESS AND INCLUSION (DEAI) STATEMENT
