Our Partnership with Sprouts

We are grateful to the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation for their continued partnership with DUG over the past three years.

Sprouts’ support is critical in ensuring our sustainability and has provided funding for

the construction of ten new DUG community and school gardens
enhanced educational experiences for students, teachers, and volunteers
the expansion of our Youth Farm Stand program
the refugee community farmer training program at DeLaney Community Farm

Additionally, our partnership has allowed us to focus more on strengthening community relationships and expanding the reach of our mission. This has been achieved by offering additional community trainings to build the capacity of local communities to grow healthy food and developing a new bilingual staff position who acts as the first point-of-contact for all forms of public inquiry.
