In 2023, composting programs in NYC were defunded or shut down. However, Pleasant Village is committed to
transforming food waste into growth: Uniting Our Community for Sustainable Change.
Island Compost is a public school recycling system created to reduce organic waste while increasing soil fertility on Governors Island.
We have experienced an increase in food scrap drop off since the pandemic. We need a new system to handle this amount of processing . The dual hotbox bin system will provide us the relief our volunteers need.
During the pandemic, Earth Matter brings Soil Start Farm to Harlem middle-schoolers, with the collaboration of HYPOTHEkids.
Amplifying practical solutions, the Less = More Green Map of NYC highlights local waste reduction sites and strategies with handy neighborhood and citywide interactive maps.
We are building a compost center and a vertical garden using recycled bottles and a wood frame and cable system. This will allow many gardeners to grow herbs, greens and flowers, and to beautify the neighborhood.
At Chenchita's Community Garden, we will install a rain harvest roof, allowing us to collect water and host FREE workshops for the community.
Help us raise funds for 3 metal treeguards to protect gardens around newly planted street trees adopted by Sra. Petra, Sra. Lourdes and John.
Support the future of farming with POP Kids Club while celebrating the heart of our communities: farmers and small businesses at the Farmers Market!
After redevelopment, LMG lost the majority of its plantings and was littered with debris. Volunteers will build grow beds for vegetables & fruits, plant flowers, install a shed, and create seating areas.
Earth Matter is creating a place for healing and reflection in the center of busy New York Harbor.
This project aims to bring joy and pride to our community and elevate the quality of life by enhancing the natural environment for both people and pollinators one tree bed at a time!

Growing food, leaders and communities in New York City
Gathered around food we build community. Community youth and neighbors will learn hands-on growing, cooking, & share cultural recipes using locally sourced food. Food grown will be donated to meet local food need.
Help the WHIN Food Council continue its food justice mission and to provide workshops, garden, and distribute free fresh produce to the community. As COVID-19 has decimated our grant funding, we need your support!
