Doula - an ancient Greek word meaning “a woman who serves.”
My Mission
To make the transition to parenthood easier for new parents, to help mom during her recovery period, and to ascertain what the family needs help with and provide instruction. I do not take over complete care of the newborn, but educate and support your family so you feel confident to care for your newborn.
With ten gardens and counting, Project Sprout has seen a significant improvement in mental and physical health for all participating community members. Other than lowering obesity, blood pressure, and depression rates, the crime rate has also fallen. Our children are doing better in school, reporting higher grades and aspirations, and better job prospects.
Get Involved
If you live near one of our gardens, get involved to receive portions of each harvest. We accept volunteers regardless of skill level. There is a rotation in roles, but we’ll teach you all the skills you need to know. Teenagers 14 years and older can earn community service credits for school in addition to getting produce for their families. Donations are also vital to our growth, as we use them for seed, fertilizer, tools, and outreach.
