Shift Our Ways Collective

Organization Description

We are a nonprofit dedicated to fostering sustainable, resilient communities through urban farming, education, and community-building initiatives. Our mission is to provide free organic vegetables and culturally relevant foods to Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, while advocating for farmers’ rights and honoring the land. We create culturally relevant green spaces and EcoHubs that serve as centers for learning, community engagement, and intergenerational connection. Through partnerships with local organizations, we deliver workshops, distribute native plants, and support community members in leading climate-resilient and sustainable lifestyles.
