Support Our Work
At Refugee Garden Initiatives, we believe everyone deserves access to foods that are meaningful to their culture, health, and identity.
As a refugee-led nonprofit, RGI works to strengthen food systems through community partnerships, demonstration gardens, education, research, and storytelling. We bring together farmers, institutions, healthcare partners, educators, and community members to build a future where culturally meaningful foods are recognized as an essential part of health and belonging.
Your support helps us:
Grow and demonstrate culturally meaningful crops
Expand our "Feeding the World, One Box at a Time" CSA
Educate communities through workshops, demonstrations, and public events
Partner with farmers, schools, hospitals, and food access organizations
Elevate refugee voices through storytelling and research
Together, we are cultivating healthier communities—one garden, one story, and one meal at a time.
Feeding the World, One Box at a Time
RGI’s Cultural CSA is more than a produce box—it is an educational and cultural experience.
Subscribers can explore one of five cuisine pathways:
Latin
African
Middle Eastern
South Asian
Southeast Asian
Each box is thoughtfully curated with culturally significant produce, accompanied by recipes and stories that connect food to culture, memory, and identity. Our next 8-week CSA begins on August 8th, 2026, with convenient weekly pick-up at our location every Saturday from 10:00 AM to Noon.
When you purchase a CSA box, you’re doing more than bringing fresh food home—you’re supporting local, culturally appropriate farming and helping sustain RGI’s programs that empower communities through food, education, and storytelling.
