Thanks to the amazing support of our community, we have far exceeded our original fundraising goal, raising a total of $53,406!!!
While 2020 was a challenging year for us all, we are so honored that this community has stepped up to support Gardening the Community, ensuring that we will be able to start 2021 on strong footing. As always, we have big dreams for this year, and cannot thank you enough for being a part of them! Our ENTIRE donation amount is also being matched by generous friends of GTC, making this the largest fundraising campaign in our 12-year history! You have helped to build the capacity of GTC's organization and leadership as we continue operating our youth leadership program and our winter GTC EATS! farm share, and look forward to planting and growing with you this spring. Thank you for your generosity and belief in the power of food justice and systems change here in Springfield. As always, we have big dreams for this year, and cannot thank you enough for being a part of them!

As I search for positive outcomes from the COVID-19 pandemic, we might note that our tech skills have improved, or maybe we’ve mastered a new way to do second-grade math. But certainly, other lessons learned could have a longer shelf life, like unexpected opportunities with donors and prospects or adaptations on the fly that actually seem to work!
