Become part of the GIFT Gardens Community
GIFT Gardens (Growing Illowa Food Together) is a community-wide initiative that invites individuals, families, and organizations to grow food to fight hunger in the Quad Cities. Whether you're planting a few pots on your patio or a full row in your backyard, your harvest can help ensure our neighbors have access to fresh, nutritious produce.
Storm Recovery & Preparedness
The time to prepare is before disaster strikes. Illinois Extension, a founding member of EDEN, connects you with research‑based tools to prepare before and recover after severe weather.
