2025 Give to Grow Campaign

At Living Earth Center, we believe local foods are one of the key pillars of a strong and healthy community.  If supply chains are disrupted or prices continue to rise, having a self-sufficient local food economy is key to resiliency.

Community Growing Spaces play an important role in leveling the playing field.  They insure anyone who wants to grow their own food has space to do so.  They also ensure that fresh organic produce is available to the most at-risk members of our community.
Your support of these systems is needed now more than ever.  Your donation to LEC will support our Community Food Connection Programs.  Donations of all amounts make a big impact at a local level.

We know that times are uncertain and that everyone is being affected in some way.  LEC is grateful to be surrounded and supported by such a caring and generous community.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our annual giving campaign and want you to know that we are honored to be growing this local community with YOU!
