Cultivating inclusive job opportunities through the art of farming.

关于我们

81% of individuals with neurodiversity (cognitive challenges) are unemployed. This leaves this segment of our community isolated. New Growth Project cultivates inclusive job opportunities on our 20-acre chemical-free vegetable farm. Through our peer-mentoring program, our employees identify skills, build new ones, grow in confidence, and become a part of the community.

    We are thrilled to be a part of GR Giving Day! This effort to support nonprofits who serve individuals with disabilities will make an impact felt through the community.

    ?? Multiple data sources confirm that only 5-7% of all funding goes to support organizations serving people with disabilities in the U.S., while we have an estimated 61 million individuals with disabilities living among us. Those who are underserved in this demographic are disproportionately disadvantaged, often unable to afford the accommodations needed to thrive. I’m super proud that Grand Rapids Giving Day includes three local nonprofits dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities, listed below. ?? It’s our hope that by elevating these organizations and the important work they do, this issue will no longer stay under the radar. I want to acknowledge our Grand Rapids Community Foundation for supporting Grand Rapids Giving Day and in doing so acting as a true ally to organizations that serve individuals with disabilities. With a megaphone, I’m saying: support these organizations on Giving Tuesday!!

    Food is medicine! Recently, we were able to help co-host a Mobile Farmer’s Market event in partnership with New Growth Project. The employees and family members of one our customers, Buist, were able to shop for fresh, organic produce and local goods while receiving advice, support, and helpful tips from our clinical team supporting Buist. When we talk about meeting people where they are and changing lives, this partnership is a wonderful example of bridging the gap between traditional care and wellness. We look forward to many more successful partnership opportunities with team at New Growth Project and support our customers along the way.
