Inter-Faith Food Shuttle envisions a hunger free community. We FEED our neighbors, TEACH self-sufficiency, GROW healthy foods, and CULTIVATE innovative approaches to end hunger. We do this by engaging communities facing hunger to understand their unique needs and barriers. For our GROW initiatives, the Food Shuttle grows fresh produce at our 14-acre Farm in Raleigh and our Learning Gardens in Raleigh and Durham to distribute to our neighbors in need. Our learning gardens are also a place where community gardeners can grow their own produce and be a part of a community where mentorship and learning are cornerstones. Recently launched, our Gardens for Everyone project builds garden boxes at the homes of our neighbors or in partnership with nonprofits serving those at risk of hunger. Last fiscal year, the Food Shuttle and its volunteers built 110 garden boxes through this new project.Learn more and register at the following links:
