Join Kids Impact Community to help Kinship Community Food Center at their urban farm “hoop houses” at Maglio Tomato Building in Milwaukee! Volunteers will cultivate, plant, water, and harvest fresh produce such as tomatoes, zucchini, beans, and kale that will be provided to shoppers at Kinship Community Food Center. There are currently 11 “hoop houses” ready to provide fresh local food to those in need!

Activities

Kids will be gardening inside the “hoop houses” and planting, harvesting, weeding, moving soil, and all things related to the general maintenance of the site.

Purpose

Kids will have the opportunity to get dirty, tend and explore the garden, and harvest food to donate to Kinship Community Food Center.

Impact

Enjoy a fun, hands-on experience gardening while learning about food insecurity in our local community.
