Give the Gift of Health
Green Gate Farms’ Sponsored Share Program is a new, innovative way to invest in your community’s health. Sponsored Shares, purchased by individuals and businesses, provide our organic vegetables to children battling diet-related disease.
Recently, Sponsored Share recipients were children participating in the “Healthy Families Initiative” at University of Texas Elementary School and children participating in the “Healthy Living, Happy Living” program at Texas Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Childhood Obesity at Dell Children’s Medical Center. These programs are structured, measurable interventions designed to cause lasting change through good, clean, fair food.
In addition to receiving a share of vegetables throughout the season, children and their families learned about nutrition as well as how to cook using freshly harvested vegetables.
Sponsored Shares are also about compassion. For instance, Atlanta health writer Amy Stone is sponsoring a share for an Austin family, one she has never met. But she knows that this hard-working, creative home full of adopted children needs and appreciates the healthy food she is providing. The impact of her gift is direct and lasting.
Our Sponsored Share families value the power of freshly harvested, organic food. Your gift ensures that they receive the healthiest food possible.
Our thanks to Gilda Grace – a new gift shop and bridal boutique at 1818 35th Street at the former Gardens location – for taking the lead on this community initiative. Be sure to shop at Gilda Grace. Here is more about Nere Emiko, the visionary local fashion designer who is helping feed her community.
