$5,000 Goal

Preston Community Garden is making a positive impact by lowering obesity rates in adults and children, decreasing crime by providing an alternative outlet for youth, promoting better mental health because gardening is therapeutic and it instills community pride by beautifying a blighted area. We donate all produce grown to help residents that reside in food deserts.
