Join With Food in Mind's second annual fundraising race! 

This year our team will join the LoziLu Women’s 5K Mud Run at the Aviator Sports and Event Center in Brooklyn. We'll get down and dirty, crawling through mud, climbings walls and nets, tire running, and tackling water slides. 

Our sweaty, muddy teamwork will not only raise funds for With Food in Mind’s 2015–2016 youth programs; 5% of our registration fees will go toward cancer research. By sponsoring one of our runners, you are making a contribution to two excellent causes!

To register for the race, email Skylar [at] withfoodinmind.org. To sponsor a member of our team, visit us on Indiegogo.

Join us for The Fruity Pop Workshop at The Bedford-Stuyvesant Community Garden.

Formerly the Lola Bryant Community Garden, the space had long been known for large quantities of fruits and vegetables cultivated there for many years by avid local gardeners, and shared with senior citizens and others in the community. In 2006, Dr. Leslie Dae Johnson, a forensic geneticist and New York Restoration Project patron, made a generous gift for the restoration and ongoing maintenance of the site.

The garden features raised planting beds for vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees; shallow terraces; a central lawn for social gatherings; an arbor made from metal scaffold tubing; a boardwalk constructed from recycled materials; picnic tables; a rainwater collection system sourced from the rooftop of a neighboring building, and more.

Free and open to the public, The Fruity Pop Workshop is geared toward ages 4–11. This program is organized in partnership with New York Restoration Project.
