Growing Hope, one seed at a time
Empowering food desert communities through urban agriculture, education, and connection.
The mattah (staff in Hebrew) budding is a biblical reference to Moses brother Aaron’s staff budding and producing fruit (Numbers 17:8). This is seen as an act of God for only God can bring life to that which is lifeless. We are a movement empowering residents with resources, knowledge, education, opportunity, and a vision with clear, measurable steps to ending food insecurity in Peoria.
