The purpose of Leave a Meal, Grow a Meal is simple: to create opportunities for people to share the resources they already have and to make a real impact in their community. By exchanging seeds and donating canned goods, we support both immediate nourishment and long-term growth for families in Sacramento, CA. It’s about recognizing the positive ripple effect that happens when neighbors help neighbors, and how mutual aid strengthens all of us.
Leave a Meal, Grow a Meal also encourages more people to step into gardening in whatever form speaks to them — flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, or succulents. Every gardener has a place here. By staying connected to the earth and committed to caring for each other, we build stronger relationships, expand understanding, and help create a more equitable community.
