Grow City Greens! VOTE!

City Greeners, we need your help!

City Greens has been accepted into the Grow St. Louis contest, and have the opportunity to win $20,000!  One organization in each of five categories will win by popular vote; City Greens has entered in the "Health, Fitness, & Nutrition" category.

With funding from the Grow St. Louis contest, City Greens will be able to continue serving its misison of making healthy and affordable food available for all by moving out of its current location and into a more permanent space.  Getting food out into the community spreads the growing trend of healthy, local foods to low income families who otherwise could not access or afford such items.  The award money will be used for moving costs, building renovations, and establishing a storefront.  City Greeners, with this money, we will surpass our fundraising goal and will be able to move out of the basement!!!
