New Growth Project

We are thrilled to be a part of GR Giving Day! This effort to support nonprofits who serve individuals with disabilities will make an impact felt through the community.

The Perfect Gift is Waiting! Looking for a thoughtful, meaningful gift that supports your community? Our handcrafted gift boxes feature local, high-quality goods straight from our farm. Plus, every purchase helps provide jobs for individuals with disabilities. Our gift boxes are more than just beautiful—they’re a way to give back to our community. How do you show your appreciation to your clients and employees? Research shows that most corporate gifts are sourced based on ease and the story behind the gift. Selecting gifts from the New Growth Project is easy and has a great story that is transforming lives. Local. Purpose Driven. Customized. https://lnkd.in/d5jfBaKD #GiftWithPurpose #SupportLocal #NewGrowthProject

We are excited to partner with Health Bar in bringing our nutritious food to the community while sharing our mission. Many more mobile farmers markets to come!

We are excited to welcome another board member to the New Growth Project. Beth Banta is a natural connector and storyteller. She has a way of bringing to life the mission of the organizations she represents for those who want to see it come to fruition. For the last 13 years, Beth has had the privilege of " storytelling" the Catholic Central experience through the lens of our students/alumni/benefactors and our teachers. Working with such a talented Catholic Central Advancement Office team inspires her. Beth has volunteered at the farm and acted as a consultant for our mission. We are thrilled to have her come aboard in an official capacity. Welcome, Beth Banta!

We are building a rockstar board at New Growth Project and want to welcome Matt Muscat to our board. (Cue the applause!) Matt is a local marketing genius, friend, and consultant to New Growth Project and is coming on in an official capacity this fall. Welcome, Matt! We are thrilled you are on the team. Matt loves connecting. Whether it is connecting an idea to a client, or a friend to a customer Matt is always looking for opportunities to create value for those around him. Matt has been a career marketer, and works as the Director of Marketing at Treadstone Mortgage where he has become an expert, author and even podcast host in the niche of real estate marketing. He and his wife, Stephanie, founded Maltese Marketing, which is a digital marketing firm that serves clients around the world. When he isn’t marketing they love traveling with their two kids and whether he is at home or in a far away lend, you can usually find him playing pickleball followed by great food and drinks. https://lnkd.in/dppp4SCy

Community collaboration presents wonderful opportunities to impact the world for good. As an organization, we have been fortunate to meet companies that believe in partnerships to further our mission and assist in supporting those who need it most. It is challenging work, but together, we can make a difference. We are excited to partner with The Village99, Revive and Thrive Project, @CommunityFoodClub, @NorthkentConnect, Chef Jenna Arcidiacono, Cavallo Solutions (Pete Eardley), and more. Because of these partnerships, we can continue our mission to provide jobs for individuals with disabilities while growing nutritious food for the community. We are building a passionate community to make a difference in our city. Thank you.

What does a day of volunteering at the farm look like? Envizion IT put together this beautiful video that captured the day well. The impact of volunteering not only helps our small staff but also brings YOUR team together, sharing in a common and unique experience. Farm. Work. Belong. https://lnkd.in/evHxF7Ra

Community partners like Envizion IT make a huge impact at the farm in just a few hours. We spent the day moving our herb garden making room for expansion, planting seeds, and moving mulch. We even had a volunteer chopping wood for our wood burner in our greenhouse. 🪵🪓 This type of support is invaluable to our small team. Thank you, guys! You are helping us to keep our mission moving forward. Group volunteering is a wonderful way to experience team building for your company. Reach out today to schedule your volunteer day. 🌱 Info@thenewgrowthproject.org
