Out of the Garden Project's mission is to nourish families with food to grow, learn, and thrive.Our vision is to connect people through partnerships that feed families, create community and build healthier outcomes.We believe we are unique not only because we are the largest agency of our kind providing more than 900 bags of food each weekend to students and families at nearly 50 elementary, middle and high schools in the Piedmont Triad, but we also have two mobile food pantries that we take out to areas of Guilford County in need and pass out food. Volunteers are the life-blood of the OOTGP. What we believe sets our organization apart as much as anything are the relationships formed by the 400-600 volunteers we have each month who come out to our warehouse to help sort, pack and deliver our food bags each weekend. We believe the transformation of our volunteers is as important as the transformation the food provides for the families we serve. The community that has been built through our volunteers and their never-ending service has been amazing.We believe that the biggest difference OOTGP makes in the Piedmont Triad is through our volunteers and the transformation that occurs in their lives and in the lives of those they serve. While we are clearly a food assistance program, that is not our goal. Our goal is simply to provide some nutrition on the weekend so children can learn at the same rate as their peers on Monday morning.We encourage you to connect and engage with us on our other social media channels:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/outofthegardenprojectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/outofthegardenproject/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ootgp
