Always a great day when the crew comes out to volunteer! Together, we got our garden ready for the fall/winter, and harvested 66lbs of produce that went directly into our community through our Community Refrigerator program! Almost 30lbs were the potatoes alone!

We are getting close to our goal of 1000lbs harvested this year and with your help, we will do it!

Thank you so much for your continuous support over the last 7 years!

Over the weekend we celebrated a HUGE accomplishment! Planting to Feed, or P2F as we loving call it, celebrated donating 1000lbs so far this year! This is the most we have ever donated in one year and we still have so much season left!

We have been providing healthy food options to our community since 2016, through cooked meals, harvest donations, community events, and our community refrigerators.

We couldn’t be more proud of our team of volunteers who come out each and every weekend rain or shine to plant, harvest, and w**d. And to our donors who have generously given so that we are able to sustain. To our very active board members who go beyond their duties and get their hands dirty every weekend of the year. It is because of you that we celebrate this achievement! THANK YOU!

Planting to Feed is small but mighty! 🎉🍾🌱❤️

Our Story

It all started while our founder was serving at her church, The Journey. A man caught her eye, she tried to catch him on his way out, but wasn't able to. On her way home, she saw him and a friend on the side of the road and pulled over. She found out they were homeless and just trying to get back on their feet. She prayed with them, and a few hours later, she returned with food and necessities. A few weeks later she met with the Outreach Ministry team at her church and told them of this idea to have a garden that could feed those who needed it most.

The first try at the garden was a failure, no volunteers and all the crops died. At the time she wanted to give up, but knew she owed it to herself and The Journey to make this work. In the following months, the group worked on growing and harvesting winter vegetables, and later served their first meals. This was our humble beginnings!

Today we are a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit, serving the Wilmington, DE community. Check out our website for our full story!
