Partnerships that keep our communities fed: Ekar Farm

Since partnering with Ekar Farm in 2022, we have been able to strengthen the support we provide to our residents and clients. Their team has consistently stepped in to help us bring fresh produce to our community, filling in the places where our purchased food doesn’t quite cover the need. Their contributions have made our distributions more balanced, more nutritious, and more meaningful for the families we serve.

Ekar has also become an important part of our youth programming. Their staff has spent time with our kids, teaching them about gardening, healthy food, and the simple joy of working with the earth. These moments give our young people hands-on experiences they may not get anywhere else.

A special thank you goes to Alyssa. She has shown up for us in ways that are genuine and generous. She has helped with distributions, participated in events, and created activities that our residents really enjoy. Her presence makes our work smoother and our community gatherings warmer.

We are grateful for Ekar Farm and for partners like Alyssa who continue to support Hope Communities with care, effort, and heart. These relationships make our work stronger and help our community feel supported and valued.
