Gather to Grow

Gather to Grow brings people together to collectively imagine and build a just food system and thriving community.

We are a community-driven nonprofit rooted in Lewiston-Auburn, Maine, working at the intersection of food justice, urban gardening, and youth leadership.

We work with our community to:

• Make healthy, local, and culturally preferred food accessible and affordable
• Grow gardens and support local farmers
• Cultivate partnerships with young people as engaged leaders and changemakers
• Create opportunities for people with diverse experiences to learn, lead, and grow
• Build vibrant neighborhoods and deepen connections between people place, and the land
• Strengthen community food systems through education, advocacy, and collaboration
