Summit Community Gardens and EATS

DOUBLE YOUR GIFT by donating to Summit Community Gardens - EATS

Celebrating over 10 years of creating a healthier community through food!

Summit Community Gardens and EATS (SCG-EATS) helps people gather, learn, and grow in our gardens and schools. 

We are all about healthy food!  

Youth Education: Gardening reduces stress and supports wellness, and cooking supports lifelong healthy eating. Our fun cooking, gardening and nutrition programs spark curiosity, build confidence, and develop deep connections to nature. We teach 1800 local kids Pre-K through 9th each school year -- plus another 450 children in Garden camps and field trips, with scholarships for 20 percent of campers. 

Garden: Summit Community Gardens is the only community garden in Summit County, with 125 individuals, families, and nonprofit partners  growing their own vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers in 4 X 16 plots. In 2024, Garden staff and volunteers grew +2000 pound of food for people experiencing chronic disease and food insecurity through the Food Farmacy. SCG-EATS makes a big contribution to food security for our community.

Gathering: The beautiful Garden is filled with flowers, fruit trees, pollinators, vegetables, and we want to share it with everyone! That's why we host Dinners in the Garden and partner with amazing local chefs; run community education programs, from family yoga to bee keeping; and provide opportunities for volunteers to get involved. We partner with Artes de Mexico for La Milpa, where the indigenous community grows food according to its traditional growing practices, honoring identity and culture -- and shares all of this with the broader community.

With your donation, we can continue leading seed-to-soil education programs for youth; run a beautiful community garden focused on supporting local growers and addressing food security; and provide opportunities for the broader community to gather.

A gift of any size is meaningful to our organization.
