Grow to Share Inc, is a 501c3 non-profit garden located in River Falls, Wisconsin. We believe everyone should have access to fresh, locally grown, pesticide-free food. To accomplish this, food is grown in multiple plots tended by volunteers from our community and donated to nonprofit organizations such as food pantries, shelters, and housing communities throughout the area. Beyond just food, we value the health of the mind and the heart, so we offer programs that cultivate education and build community. We also operate a community garden for people to grow their own food. The gardens are located in Hoffman Park at 547 Hanson Drive.
Our Mission: to facilitate a volunteer-based collaborative garden, promote experiential learning, foster healthy & sustainable community, and share the harvest.
Our Vision: to cultivate healthy, sustainable lifestyles in collaboration with local organizations. Efforts include promoting hunger relief, increasing access to fresh sustainably-grown produce, hands-on food education and volunteer opportunities.
If you are interested in volunteering in the gardens, we are currently running volunteer hours on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5-7 pm and on Saturday mornings from 9-12. We welcome the volunteer efforts of both individuals and groups, teams, and other organizations.
