Revive & Thrive is thrilled to partner with New Growth Project this year for fresh, local, and sustainably grown produce. We just had a great planning meeting with their team for this season, and are looking forward to all the wonderful vegetables and herbs that we will source from their farm in Rockford for our healthy, home-delivered meal service. At Revive & Thrive, we source our ingredients as locally and seasonally as possible to support good Michigan food while providing nourishing meals for those facing health crises in greater Grand Rapids. Our partnership with New Growth Project helps make this possible. New Growth Project's mission is cultivating job opportunities and community connections for individuals with cognitive differences. Through their farm and handcrafted gifts, they create inclusive employment opportunities - what a win-win! Visit https://lnkd.in/gtrenR3u to learn more about our amazing community partner.
