Plant. Water. Grow
Welcome to The Hope Garden. In June of 2010, we officially welcomed The Hope Garden to downtown Hailey. Just a few months earlier, the 10,000 square foot lot was an empty, open patch of dirt. Thanks to the planning skills of a dedicated few, and the immeasurable help of clients and volunteers, The Hope Garden has contributed more than 2,800 pounds of organically grown fresh produce to the Mobile Food Bank!

Share Your Harvests ~ Join Grow A Row!
This summer, do something that makes a difference in the lives of hungry families and individuals in our community. If you plant a small home garden so that you & your family can enjoy fresh vegetables, fruits & herbs, plant an extra row and donate the harvests to The Hunger Coalition. Through our Grow A Row Program, "growing" neighborhoods are established and weekly harvest donations coordinated.
We invite you to learn more by calling Hallie Reikowsky at 788-0121 or email: hreikowsky@thehungercoalition.org
