Mission
This web site was developed to provide information, education, and resources to support Clark County residents in their efforts to grow some of their own food. Through this website individuals, families, schools, churches, businesses, and organizations can gain basic knowledge and make connections with local resources to grow successful food gardens.
Do you have a Fruit or Nut tree and would like to share the bounty with Vancouver’s Emergency Food System?
Would you like to help us harvest Fruit from the neighborhood that will be donated to local food pantries? Thousands of pounds of fruit and nuts fall to the ground each year creating messes in yards across Vancouver yet many in our community go hungry or lack access to fresh healthy foods each day. Urban Abundance’s gleaning program offers tools for our community to register trees to be harvested and volunteers to help bring in the harvest. Join us for our first year of geaning fruit and nuts.

A $30,000 grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation’s Washington State Giving Program and one half-acre of donated land from Shorty’s greenhouse will allow 50 or more Marrion neighborhood families to grow their own food. Plus, it will help launch or expand four more Vancouver community garden sites in Fruit Valley and along the Fourth Plain corridor. For the full story click here.
