NEW PROJECT FUNDED ⭐ 🌱 Nurturing Change in the Bronx 🌱
A grassroots initiative is transforming the Bronx, one food scrap at a time. 💚
In the heart of this vibrant borough, a community is coming together to turn waste into wonder. The Uptown & Boogie Healthy Project, with our seedgrant, is launching a food scrap drop-off program at the BxPE Farmers Market.
Why does this matter? Because in the Bronx, where challenges often overshadow opportunities, this project is planting seeds of hope. It`s not just about reducing waste – it`s about growing a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
Every apple core, every vegetable peel brought to the market isn`t trash – it`s potential. Potential for richer soil. Potential for fresher, locally grown food. Potential for a community to thrive.
The Pollination Project believes in the power of small acts to create big change. And in the Bronx, they`re proving it. This isn`t just a drop-off program; it`s a movement. A movement of neighbors caring for each other and their shared environment.
To the amazing folks of the Bronx: Your passion inspires us. Your dedication moves us. You remind us why we do what we do.🧡
