COVID-19 Updates

Homeless Garden Project is responding to the COVID-19 crisis by continuing our essential work of providing our transitional employment and support services programs to people experiencing homelessness and farming in order to provide healthy, organic food for the community. We have implemented all recommended social distancing practices and are keeping updated on developing information through our local Health Services Agency, state, and federal agencies.
