Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday celebrates the charitable season as many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. This global day of giving encourages people to do good, in all acts of giving, and is fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Whether it’s dedicating your time or a donation, it’s the generosity of helping a neighbor or someone in need.
This season, the JK Community Farm turned $333,000 raised on Giving Tuesday into the equivalent of $2.1 million dollars of food for our food pantry partners. Our goal this Giving Tuesday is to raise $500,000 to help us increase the varieties of produce we provide to meet the nutritional and cultural needs of our community.

About the JK Community Farm
Our passion is strong. Our mission is clear.
The JK Community Farm was founded with a single, focused goal: To enhance the quality of life for people facing food insecurity. Everything we dedicate ourselves to do – from raising organic fruits, vegetables, and protein, to distributing them to food partners in surrounding counties, to providing nutrition education and furthering respect for the land – is designed to help us meet that goal.
“ I like to give my kids fresh vegetables and I was worried when I couldn’t really afford them anymore. I’m so glad the food pantry has them for families like mine. My kids really like the green peppers. ”
“ JK Community Farm has made a huge difference for so many of us. Not only do food banks have fresh, good looking produce but they have a wide variety of it. It’s exciting to be able to make a variety of seasonal dishes and not the same meals month after month. “
