The Home Farms project will bring fresh produce neighborhoods in the historic Sunnyside area, train homeless U.S. Veterans as new urban farmers, provide jobs for area youth and give cooking and gardening classes to children and families. Wells Fargo was at the special ceremony to present a NeighborhoodLIFT® grant of $200,000 to Recipe for Success Foundation in support of their Hope Farms™ urban agricultural project. Following the presentation, participants planted veggie seeds in the gardens at MacGregor Elementary in support of #HoustonDigsRealFood and shopped for fresh produce at the farmers marKIDS days™ produce stand operated by MacGregor students. Some in attendance were Alan Watkins, and Spiro Petritsis, Laura Jaramillo.
