Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
URBAN TREE CONNECTION'S MISSION IS TO BUILD A NEIGHBORHOOD ROOTED FOOD AND LAND SYSTEM THROUGH COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND LAND-BASED STRATEGIES IN WEST PHILADELPHIA.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
NEIGHBORHOOD FOODS FARM ("NF") WAS FOUNDED BY UTC AND THREE COMMUNITY LEADERS AS A SOLUTION TO THE FOOD INSECURITY AND THE GROWING NUMBER OF ABANDONED LOTS IN HADDINGTON. AFTER SIGNIFICANT REMEDIATION, NF FARM IS NOW A FULLY FUNCTIONING THREE-QUARTER ACRE URBAN VEGETABLE FARM. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH NEIGHBORS TO DEVELOP 27 OTHER VACANT LOTS INTO POCKET PARKS, COMMUNITY GARDENS, AND EDUCATIONAL SPACES. TOGETHER, THESE SITES COMPRISE A NEIGHBORHOOD FOOD SYSTEM THAT ANNUALLY PRODUCES AROUND 4,500 POUNDS OF SUSTAINABLY GROWN VEGETABLES. THE COMMUNITY GARDENS ARE OPEN TO ALL NEIGHBORS AND SERVE AS PUBLIC SPACES TO ACCESS LAND, TOOLS, RESOURCES, AND KNOWLEDGE TO GROW FOOD TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. THE POCKET PARKS SERVE AS WALK-THROUGH AND GATHERING SPACES FOR COMMUNITY USE AND RECREATION. THE FOOD GROWN AT NEIGHBORHOOD FOODS FARM IS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH OUR FOOD SOVEREIGNTY SHARE (FSS) PROGRAM, WHICH EVOLVED DURING THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC. IN 2020, WE SUSPENDED OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FARMER'S MARKETS TO COORDINATE DOOR-TO-DOOR FREE FOOD SHARE DELIVERIES WITH WEST PHILADELPHIA BLOCK CAPTAINS.
OUR EDUCATION PROGRAMS PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS, SKILLS BUILDING, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND ARE ROOTED IN SOCIAL JUSTICE. WE HOST HANDS-ON AGROECOLOGY WORKSHOPS, EDUCATIONAL FOOD SOVEREIGNTY TOURS, AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS ON RACIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE. UTC MENTORS YOUTH THAT PRIMARILY LIVE IN HADDINGTON. THIS PAID APPRENTICE INTRODUCES YOUTH OF COLOR TO URBAN AGRICULTURE. EACH APPRENTICE RECEIVES MENTORSHIP FROM THE STAFF IN THE AREAS OF URBAN FARMING AND GARDENING, LOCAL FOOD DISTRIBUTION, AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND OUTREACH.
