Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To build and maintain a community garden that feeds Yancey County and empowers people to grow their own healthy foods.

  • Garden that Gives: Dig In! Community Garden grew food at our two-acre organic garden with our staff and 80 volunteers. All of the produce was donated to distribution programs addressing food insecurity in Yancey County. In 2024, over 4,000 pounds of produce were harvested and shared prior to Hurricane Helene. Dig In prioritizes growing crops that are nutritionally dense, culturally appropriate, and suited to the Southern Appalachian Mountain climate. We also supported 4 smaller, independent community gardens in Yancey County, NC that share food among their members, with food pantries, or neighbors.

    Expenses $143,997 · Revenue $6,648

  • Food for All: The Food For All programs, in cooperation with our community partners, addresses food insecurity by distributing high quality fresh produce to residents of Yancey County at no charge. From June to September 2024, Dig In served an average of 205 families weekly through our Harvest Share and Cosecha Para El Pueblo walk-up free markets. An additional 100+ households received produce through a summer delivery program available to families with school-aged children. Throughout the fall, 100 low-income senior households received pre- packaged shares as well. These programs were supported by 1 staff member and over 40 volunteers who helped distribute the produce.

  • Learn + Teach: Dig In provided hands-on educational programming to 80 individual volunteers between April and September 2024 through Work Together volunteer days. We offered monthly online seminars, cooking demonstrations at our Harvest Share markets, and workshops on composting. And we mentored three farmers-in-training through a certified apprenticeship and internships.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
