OUR MISSION
Mission: Food Forest strengthens military communities by cultivating sustainable and nutritious food systems that bring people together. We unite active and prior service members, their families, civilian volunteers, and local organizations to build resilience through shared knowledge, collaboration, and hands-on engagement. Our programs (community gardens, consultation services, community grants, and a resource library) foster connection, empowerment, and long-term food security for military populations.
