​Thanks to the amazing support of our community, we have exceeded our original fundraising goal. 

We have set a new goal of raising $50,000 by the end of July!  We will use the additional funding we receive to meet the increased needs of our community and build the capacity of our organization and its leadership.


Communities of color are suffering disproportionately due to COVID 19 and the underlying systemic racism present in all our institutions and systems.  As a Black and Brown led organization, GTC is working to create locally controlled food resources that are accessible to our friends and neighbors in Springfield, while building leadership. 
Your generosity will help us:
  • Grow the nutritious, delicious food our community desperately needs​
  • Keep our Farm Store open as a resource for our neighbors, with the online ordering and safety precautions demanded in these times
  • Provide low cost Farm Shares for families and elders unable to pay the full price
  • Implement new bike delivery options for housebound elders and families
  • Respond to community members facing food emergencies
  • Support our young people and their families
  • Grow our own capacity as an organization

Your gift today supports the work of GTC to build a more equitable food system and grow youth leadership.  Thank you.
