The mission of Kansas City Community Gardens is to assist low-income households and community groups in the Kansas City metropolitan area to produce vegetables and fruit from garden plots located in backyards, vacant lots, and at community sites. Funds from this grant will add schoolyard gardens at five school buildings in the Liberty Hospital service area in 2018. Youth involved with these projects will assist in building the raised garden beds, have access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and learn about healthy eating and active living.
