Harlem Grown is a youth nutrition education non-profit. Traditionally, they work with children in Harlem to inspire an ambitious and healthful life through mentorship and hands-on experience in urban gardening, sustainability, and nutrition. In March, the organization quickly pivoted to react to the health and hunger crisis in their neighborhood. Working with local restaurants in Harlem, the organization provides an average of 165 weekly meals to local family shelters. This model keeps the most vulnerable fed and the restaurant keeps staff on payroll, further helping those families avoid food insecurity themselves. The emergency grant from ATE will allow them to sustain this vital neighborhood program.
