At DUG, we believe that when you invite people to grow together, resilience takes root. <\/span>This past year put that belief to the test. At the start of 2025, DUG lost more than one <\/span>million dollars in federal funding. Even so, with the strength and commitment of our <\/span>community, we were resilient.<\/span><\/p>\n 2025 marked DUG\u2019s 40th anniversary as a nonprofit, and our gardens continue to be places where genuine connections happen<\/span>. They are spaces where neighbors meet, cultures and <\/span>languages are shared, and people find a sense of belonging. At a time when loneliness is <\/span>increasingly recognized as a public health crisis, our gardens and food forests offer <\/span>something simple and powerful: a place to show up, get your hands in the soil, and be <\/span>part of something. <\/span>Together, we are helping reshape the local food system, expanding access to fresh, <\/span>healthy food, and creating climate-resilient neighborhoods. Our gardens and food <\/span>forests capture rainwater, cool urban spaces, and provide critical habitat for pollinators, <\/span>small but powerful actions that add up to lasting impact.<\/span><\/p>\n As we look to 2026, our focus is on sustaining ourselves, our land, our communities, <\/span>and DUG as an organization. This work has always been built by the people who care <\/span>about it. We\u2019re deeply grateful for everyone who has been part of DUG over the past 40 <\/span>years, and truly look forward to continuing our mission<\/span> by providing the skills, access, <\/span>and resources to grow healthy food in the community and regenerate urban green <\/span>spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n Be well,<\/p>\n Nessa Mogharreban<\/strong> In 2025, DUG continued to steward one of the largest community garden networks in the region \u2014 spaces that grow more than food.<\/p>\n The Impact: <\/strong>Community-led gardens and food forests provide fresh food, cooling shade, ecological benefits, and places of belonging \u2014 especially in neighborhoods facing food and climate inequities.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][nectar_sticky_media_sections type=”default” content_position=”right” content_spacing=”45vh” media_width=”60%”
