Community Food Bank Serving Folsom, ElDorado Hills & Granite Bay
Community Food Bank Serving Folsom, ElDorado Hills & Granite Bay
Central to the Twin Lakes Food Bank vision of nourishing and educating the community through the benefits of fresh produce, our organic garden not only feeds our hungry neighbors but also connects our community and stewards our resources.
In 2024, the garden produced over 5,000 pounds of valuable organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs that the food insecure would not have had access to at grocery store prices.
As we seek to promote sustainability in the food distribution system, the garden composts over 16,000 pounds of food waste annually.
Reading about the garden is one thing–to truly see the influence it has on our community, you need to see it.
To see a virtual tour of the garden or to hear more from Michelle Kwek, our Garden Coordinator, follow us on social media, watch the video below, or check out her guest spotlight on the Green Acres Garden Podcast.
