FIT4MOM for Equity: Urban Roots

September 2, 2021

In our pursuit of engaging with and supporting our local community, we are creating a monthly spotlight on our blog and social media called "FIT4MOM for Equity". We will be highlighting area businesses, organizations, and programs who are working to bring equity to everyone living in the Grand Rapids area.

Urban Roots

Created in 2013, Urban Roots is committed to cultivating healthy communities. By helping others learn about growing their own food, the dream and goal is to create lasting change that will transform communities for years to come. Urban Roots is home to an education center and community farm where they hold a variety of educational experiences and opportunities. They host farm field trips for groups of all sizes, special food events throughout the year, and even have a program for you to support them with a compost subscription.

To learn more about Urban Roots (or even gardening, in general--They have an awesome gardening resource page!), check out their website and follow them on social media.

Thank you, Urban Roots, for pursuing equity for our neighbors. You are making such a beautiful difference in our city and the lives of those around you!
