Help us raise $20,000 this spring to keep our mission growing!
Each dollar raised (up to $10,000) will be matched by a generous donation from 2 of our great community partners (CHAS and the Smith-Barbieri Progressive Fund) to meet our total campaign goal of $20,000! Check out the video below to learn more about us and donate here!

Difference Makers
The Spokesman-Review and its readers select area residents who have made a difference in the previous 12 months. These are people who have stepped up to help those in need, or brought attention and solutions to challenges facing the Inland Northwest. This year, Johnny was included in Spokane’s Difference Makers.
Growing healthy neighborhoods through urban farming and community development.
Growing Neighbors is about partnering with local organizations and growing relationships and produce with our neighbors to encourage healthier lifestyles. The primary goal is developing Neighborhood Families, who share meals and resources, use their gifts to care for each others’ needs and generally function like an extended family.
