We’ve been thinking about our precious community of supporters as we navigate this time of uncertainty. We hope you are all well and staying healthy.
Here in the garden, we’ve implemented new protocols, based on national/regional guidelines, that help us remain safe. Even our garden gnomes are practicing social distancing!

To date, our campaign has raised $500,000 toward our $1,950,000 goal. While we've had to put many of our fundraising events on hold, we are excited to participate in Seattle’s Give Big event this year.
Although Give Big is officially May 5-6, early giving has begun. A generous donor has offered to match every dollar raised up to $10,000. Donate now and double your impact!
Additionally, our $100,000 matching challenge is still underway. Our most generous donor has extended the deadline from June 1 to September 1. If you are interested in participating, please fill out our pledge form.

Did you know that Ballard P-Patch dedicates over 1300 square feet to growing food for the Ballard Food Bank?
We work closely with the staff and volunteers at the Ballard Food Bank to ensure we are growing crops that their clientele will enjoy. Last year we donated over 2000lbs of locally grown organic produce.
Supporting our neighborhood food pantries is a vital part of our mission. And new this year, we are adding distributions to the Phinney Neighborhood Senior Center! The Senior Center provides lunch daily to about 80 seniors.
We work in our Giving Garden plots on Tuesdays from 4-6pm. Stop by and visit us to learn more!
