Community CROPS Donations
Donations from neighbors like you make community gardens possible in Lincoln.
In 16 bountiful community gardens around Lincoln, some 200 local families are growing fresh, nutritious vegetables, fruits and herbs for themselves and their friends. Our gardeners are your neighbors ~ refugee and immigrant families, low-income families, students, renters and others interested in coming together around locally produced, organic produce. Our Sunset Community Farms provides space, training and marketing support for beginning farmers.
Help us keep the bounty growing. Your generous contributions make more gardens and farmers possible.

Double your Donation!
When you set up a recurring monthly or biweekly donation to Community CROPS, one of our generous supporters will double your donation for a full year. How about $20 a month? With donor matching, that would mean a generous $480 a year for CROPS, without putting a dent in your bank account.
