The GrowHaus Story:
The mission of The GrowHaus is to cultivate community-driven food justice through education and food access. They offer food distribution programming and educational opportunities related to growing and cooking food, as well as overall wellness. The organization serves the Globeville and Elyria-Swansea (GES) neighborhoods, two vibrant neighborhoods in North Denver, rich in culture and tradition. However, residents of GES face barriers to living a healthy lifestyle. There is not one full service grocery store for the 10,000 residents living in GES. Additionally, the heavily industrious neighborhood has been deemed one of the most polluted zip codes in the country. However, residents of Globeville and Elyria-Swansea are incredibly resilient and passionate about supporting their neighbors and ensuring healthy food access.  

The GrowHaus strives to be a community-driven organization, meaning that their goal is to have all programs led and implemented by members of their community or others from similar neighborhoods. They are successful when the youth, families, and communities that they work with are empowered to feed, nourish and strengthen themselves and each other.

The GrowHaus and COVID-19:
At their core, The GrowHaus is committed to ensuring healthy food access in Globeville and Elyria-Swansea. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The GrowHaus has taken several steps to support residents of GES, ensuring that they are receiving food and have information and resources to support themselves during this challenging time.

At the onset of COVID-19, The GrowHaus launched an emergency food distribution program to support residents. Emergency food packages include a bag of fresh produce as well as a bag of dry food staples. The GrowHaus has been distributing these food packages every week to over 550 families, providing 2,550 kids and adults with nourishment and comfort. In total, The GrowHaus has distributed the equivalent of over 762,000 free meals. Their goal is to reach 775,000 free meals by the end of 2021.

What We Need:
The GrowHaus needs additional funds to continue providing emergency food to families in the Globeville and Elyria-Swansea community. Their goal is to hit 775,000 free meals by the end of the year. Please consider making a donation to support their important work, especially during the pandemic, when ensuring rapid response to those in need is more crucial than ever...
