Urban Harvest's Food Access Program makes fresh, healthy food the easy, affordable choice for all through Double Up Houston and the Mobile Farmers Market. In 2019, Urban Harvest launched Double Up Houston, a SNAP incentive program that operates at 5 area farmers' markets, farm stands, and 13 Mobile Market sites. Food insecure families and individuals can use their SNAP benefits to purchase fresh, local foods at participating markets and farm stands and receive an additional $40 match in Double Up Food Bucks to use on fruits and vegetables. Urban Harvest's Mobile Market partners with clinics, churches, schools, housing organizations, community centers, and other community-based sites to offer farm-fresh produce in underserved communities. See Schedule O for additional details.Additionally, we launched the Northeast Community Farmers Market in 2019 with community members and still include this as a Mobile Market site that serves a long-standing food desert with nutritious options and a place for the community to gather.

The Urban Harvest Youth Education Program transforms school gardens into outdoor classrooms through weekly hands-on lessons for children and through the Edible Academy, a series of workshops to train educators on integrating their curriculum with school gardens. In 2023, Urban Harvest trained 39 educators, who will reach an estimated 5,000 students and teachers with their gardening knowledge. Additionally, we hosted weekly education at 6 schools and taught students how to grow, harvest, and prepare an average of 16 crops. On average, 90% of these schools are Title 1 schools and serve an average of 95% economically disadvantaged students and families. See Schedule O for additional details.In 2023, Urban Harvest offered over 90 garden classes unique to the Houston area that focus on growing fruits and vegetables organically and living sustainably. The knowledgeable instructors provide classroom and hands-on experiences to support a vibrant, local food system.

Urban Harvest Farmers Market Program provides Houstonians with year-round access to local, healthy food and the opportunity to meet and know their farmers.

The Farmers Market also provided a community space for over 45,000 residents to gather and purchase nutritious food while spending time outdoors with their neighbors and local farmers.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
