Grow Well Kingston is a collective of organizations and individuals that support Kingston residents to grow plants and raise animals  for food, medicine, natural habitat, and beauty by supporting projects that provide knowledge, growing spaces, and resources. 

We support a network of growing spaces throughout Kingston, both private and public, of all scales and sizes, that help individuals develop healthy connections to land, food, and community, as well as through funding and allocation of resources, urban agricultural education, cooperative seed saving and sharing initiatives, and advocacy work for policy and zoning changes.

Unequal access to healthy food is more than just a crisis in our current moment: It is a social emergency that requires rethinking how our community lives and works together. And while we can agree that everyone needs to eat, we may not always see how different needs call for different solutions.

The Kingston Emergency Food Collaborative delivers food to households in the Kingston City School District in direct cooperation with the YMCA, Family of Woodstock, People’s Place, and Project Resilience. We take in requests through our emergency food hotline; anyone who requests food can access our program.
