Name	Amount	Location	Purpose	Year
Hoa Aina O Makaha	$10,000	Waianae, HI, US	The Farmers Markets Were Closed During The Pandemic And Our Outreach Efforts Were Marginalized. As A Result, Our Access To Our Community Was Greatly Diminished. We Realized That Because Of This Crisis, Community Members Were Lacking Access To Fresh, Healthy, Produce. This Inspired Us To Move Forward With A New Program We Have Named: 'u-pick'. This Program Invites Community Members To Come To The Farm, Harvest And Clean Their Own Produce,and Participate In A Community Planting That Can Be Later Harvested By Those Who Planted The Seedlings. U-pick Has Allowed Us To Continue Our Work Of Feeding Our Community Fresh, Healthy, Fruits And Vegetables, While Also Providing Added Bonuses Like; Stress Reduction, Being Outdoors, Connecting With Others, And Learning How To Grow Your Own Food.we Have Used The Grant Monies To Support Our U-pick Program, By Purchasing,seeds,soil,fertilizers,value Add Jars/labels,and Irrigation Supplies,so We Could Extend Production And Amplify Our Volume Of Produce.	2021
