Our CSA program is unique because we donate a percentage of our CSA shares to local organizations working with at-risk populations.  It’s another way for us to include families that may not have access to this community’s bounty of organic food.  This year's recipients are YWCA Fairgrounds Children's Center , River Street Shelter and Pioneer House, Transition House, Hospice of Santa Cruz County, and The Hospice Caring Project of Santa Cruz.

Your gift to our CSA Fund reaches out beyond our farm to families throughout Santa Cruz.  Click above on the "Support our CSA Fund " line and type "CSA Fund " in the purpose line of the donate form.  THANKS!

This year Homeless Garden Project will donate shares to:

• Three of Santa Cruz Community Counseling Center's programs:  The River Street Shelter, Transition House and Paloma House
• Live Oak Family Resource Center's Home Visiting and Information and Referral program
• The Hospice of Santa Cruz County will receive weekly bouquets of harvested flowers from the Project to distribute among their 80 patients and their families.

CSA scholarship share donations are tax deductible.  Any gift amount helps; we'll pool the donations to buy afull share for our scholarship shareholders.

Our goal is to provide 25 Scholarship Shares, distributed among the above organizations.  Through your past contributions, HGP has donated CSA shares to the following organizations:  Walnut Avenue Women’s Center, Live Oak Family Resource Center, Homeless Community Resource Center, New Horizons School, Santa Cruz AIDS Project, St. Francis Kitchen, and La Familia Center; as well as directly to low-income families in our community.
