| Help Extend the Harvest by Supporting Share-a-Share™ |  As part of our mission, we strive to make high-quality fresh produce accessible to as many members of our community as we can. Groundwork Share-a-Share™ donations are used to subsidize the cost of fresh food through subsidized CSA shares, incentive programs for our Farmers Markets, Fruit and Vegetable Prescriptions (FVRx), and fresh food donations to food pantries. Through our Groundwork Share-a-Share™ Program, you can make a tax-deductable donation to help us extend the benefits of fresh, locally grown food to those who would otherwise not be able to afford it.
Your donation in the 2013 season is particularly crucial because our primary FVRx foundation funder is unable to support our program this year. This means that without your donation, we will be unable to help a significant number of low-income families who suffer from diet-related health disparities afford fresh produce.Help us meet our goal--we are almost there!
Thank you in advance for considering a donation to Share-a-Share!
