United Human Services’ Role in Nourishing Communities
At United Human Services, we understand that health begins with access to quality nutrition. That’s why we support urban farming efforts by:
Partnering with local farms to bring fresh produce to food deserts.
Offering nutrition education programs that teach families how to cook and eat healthier.
Advocating for policies that expand urban agriculture and food equity.
By connecting communities with resources and education, we help ensure that every Chicagoan has the opportunity to thrive.
How You Can Get Involved
Urban farming is a collective effort, and everyone can play a part. Here’s how you can contribute:
Volunteer at a community garden or urban farm.
Support local farmers' markets and CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture).
Start a home garden-even small spaces can grow herbs, vegetables, or microgreens!
