The Peace Award given to Evanston Grows, an urban farming organization dedicated to sustainable agriculture, food access and community empowerment. Evanston Grows received the 2024 Peace Award from local Quaker community Evanston Friends Meeting during the Evanston Grows 3rd annual Seedling Sale Fundraiser outside the Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center.
The seedling sale offered organic vegetable seedlings for a small donation from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with proceeds going to support the Evanston Grows free summer farm stand program. “What is especially impressive here is that Evanston Grows meets with community members for open dialogue before beginning any new project and that their community support includes the offering of free produce.” Pantoga said.
According to the Evanston Grows website, farms and community garden projects are based on community partnerships to cultivate and sustain health equity by increasing edible gardens throughout the city with a special focus on providing access to gardening resources.
