• GROW - RTWM HAS SUPPORTED 11 GARDENS IN WHICH PEOPLE MOST DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY FOOD INSECURITY HAVE HAD AN INTEGRAL PART IN PLANNING, PLANTING, AND HARVESTING. THESE GARDENS PROVIDE DIRECT ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD, INCLUDING IN FOOD DESERTS WHERE LACK OF ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION MAKES GOING TO GROCERY STORES CHALLENGING. COMMUNITY-LED TRAININGS, COOKBOOKS DESIGNED BY CHILDREN, COOK-OFFS FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES, SOCIALIZATION AND RAISED GARDEN BEDS FOR SENIORS WHO USE WHEELCHAIRS, PART-TIME JOBS FOR TEENAGERS, AND SHARED RECIPES THAT INCLUDE TASTES OF HOME ARE JUST SOME OF THE OUTCOMES OF THIS PROGRAM.
