Why We Do The Blitz.
CONNECTION
The Harambee Neighborhood, where we are headquartered, is a food desert. We fight against food insecurity for every individual in our network. We can’t do it alone. The Great Milwaukee Garden Blitz serves to connect communities with each other. Primarily, our focus is to heal communities through agriculture; to empower others to
GROW THEIR OWN FOOD.
WELLNESS
Integration of a secure food system, mental wellness, and healthy living are promoted by the Great Milwaukee Garden Blitz. We want people to be well and have agency towards a life with longevity. Home gardening benefits the body with healthy growing and consumption with hands-on activity that revitalizes the mind.
ACTION
We are here to give people access to grow food and secure their families by providing nutritious meals, garden-to-table, at affordable prices. Hands in our organic soil cultivating fresh crops and produce builds a more resilient food system for all of Milwaukee
one garden at a time.
Sponsor a Garden Bed!
Our Mission.
To build communities that grow their own food in order to create a community-led, socially just, environmentally sustainable and nutritious food system for all.
Together, we can eliminate food insecurity.
We Need You!
Get more gardens in the Harambee Neighborhood and to folks that face food insecurity. Supplement the costs of material today by sponsoring a garden bed.
*Victory Garden Initiative makes no profit from sponsored garden bed registrations, nor from the Great Milwaukee Garden Blitz as a whole.
