Resting on our 40 year history of helping women rise out of addiction with the wholistic approach, we have embarked on an unprecedented investment in time and resources to provide healthy food choices for our clients, alternative therapeutic avenues supporting our mission including new resources and programming in the area of nutrition and build upon the relationship within our community.

With our 5 year goal in place, we hope to reach the capacity of a full scale organic urban garden for daily fresh produce, fruit and perennial flower growing for our residents to choose from using nearly two acres of land with a large greenhouse for all-season planting.  We will be having a volunteer team and have begun a relationship OSU extension and have a tentative starting project collaboration date in 2021! 

The urban garden will also be used to alleviate the food desert within our community by having monthly free produce giveaways creating opportunities for better community relationships.  Ultimately, this garden will be outfitted with a social enterprise construct still under consideration, a seating area for outside horticultural therapies to take place and a healing garden for reflection and rest. 

Each step of the way, the clients themselves will be fulfilling the mission either through the work of their hands at the garden, setting up the stands or helping with the first annual fundraiser for March!  Learning about themselves, self-efficacy and how healing working with your hands and mind can be!
