My Nonprofit Reviews

The Urban Farmers have shaped my perspective on food in such amazing ways. Through Saint Mary's college, I was connected with this great Non Profit organization to help combat hunger one tree at a time, one fruit at a time. While I was putting in time at the harvest, I was also learning about the food system and the lack of healthy available food around the world, and so my experience has been one that I will always remember. Throughout my life, I have always taken food for granted until now.

When I work with the Urban Farmers, I feel Joy. Not only do I enjoy harvesting different kinds of fruit, I enjoy the feeling of knowing that someone is going to get fed with the food we gather. The joy comes from seeing this happen naturally from the ground too with minimal effort. It puts a perspective on what we can actually accomplish together in the fight to end hunger. I feel tired from doing the work as well, because it is no easy work, and so you can appreciate what people actually do to make a living picking fruits and vegetables. Overall, an amazing organization with amazing motives.
