Why give?

SCG supports communities in 17 counties, distributing fresh, locally grown food to free community refrigerators, food pantries and senior centers, while offering CSA boxes for low-income families.


  • Hands On Education: We operate more than 17 community gardens and a growing network of teaching farms, offering free or low-cost produce, hands-on education, and food security programs across Springfield, Missouri.

  • Farmer Support: Through USDA-funded programs, we empower local farmers with free workshops, one-on-one technical visits, and direct grant access, helping them grow more sustainably and profitably.

  • Community Infrastructure: Our micro food hub, cold storage, and distribution systems connect rural farms to urban schools, hospitals, and grocery stores, cutting food miles and building resilience.

  • Youth & Education: SCG provides hands-on workshops and experiential learning for youth and families, connecting future generations to food, soil, and health.
