Kingston YMCA Farm Project: Partnership Spotlight #6!

The mission of the Kingston YMCA Farm Project, located in midtown Kingston, is to “educate, nourish and connect the Kingston community with our urban farm.” The pandemic has limited the Farm Project’s ability to provide field trips and in-school learning experiences, but the Farm Project has still worked hard to run many of its programs and in some cases even been able to expand some. The Kingston YMCA Farm Project sought funding from the Ascienzo Family Foundation to support numerous amazing programs: Language Justice Training with Interpretation Practice, a How To Be An Anti-Racist Book Club, the Kingston YMCA Cookbook Project, and the Kingston Garden Bed Project. Each program will benefit about 8-10 youth, and offer a chance to connect and learn with peers even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ascienzo Family Foundation was able to grant $15,000 this year to support these programs!
