GGC is Five Years Old!
Founded in 2020 -- the Growing and Growth Collective (GGC) is a grassroots initiative that encourages participation in urban agriculture as a means of improving health outcomes, deepening civic engagement, and promoting economic empowerment especially for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) across ages and generations on the Near East Side (NES), along side allies.
Although GGC manages six greenspaces and community gardens that include 70+ raised beds for the cultivation of fresh produce, and also, while GGC often spearheads the coordination of social events, youth programs, and educational symposia -- none of these efforts are delivered in a solitary fashion.
All of GGC's work entails collaborations with NES neighbors, generous individuals and families, and committed philanthropic institutions.
Impact Pillars:
Agricultural Education in Cities
Food Access & Affordability
Comprehensive Health & Wellness
Equitable Community Development
GGC is an initiative of Partners Achieving Community Transformation/PACT (eastpact.org).
A 3-in-1 GGC Program!
1. Donate.
As a grassroots initiative, GGC cannot fulfill its goal of being a dynamic resource for the community without philanthropic investments from individuals, businesses and foundations.
You can help by supporting Sow the Seeds for GGC. 
Every dollar counts!
2. Celebrate in Community.
From 11:30 am to 1:00 pm at Broad Street Presbyterian Church (one off GGC's six garden sites), enjoy food, music, and performances in 
celebration 
of FIVE YEARS of operations
 before the service portion of the program that kicks off immediately following the program.
3. Walk & Serve.
Departing Broad Street Presbyterian Church promptly at 1:00 pm, join a walking tour after the lunch and keynote that will include brief stopping points at select GGC gardens and litter removal en route. 
The stop at the 21st Street Garden will feature a dedication 
for the new projects and installations.
Featured Luncheon Performers:
 
Black on Earth
 is an interdisciplinary performance combining dance, agriculture, and technology to explore Black ecological relationships and land stewardship. This excerpt reveals embodied histories of Black growers, reconnecting with the earth through movement, sound, and storytelling. Rooted in African diasporic traditions, the work reimagines sustainability and ancestral resilience.
 
Black on Earth
 invites audiences to witness the profound bond between Black bodies and the land. #DanceTheEarthTruths
We will also be blessed by the artistry of 
Tifani Kendrick
