Mission
Sanctuary Farm seeks to address the health inequities resulting from systemic racial oppression and economic injustice by converting abandoned and neglected areas in our community into spaces that promote safety, hospitality, nutrition and growth. With the help of neighbors, volunteers, and other non-profit partnerships, Sanctuary Farm "broke ground" on an empty lot in North Philadelphia in May 2017. Since it opened in 2017, Sanctuary Farm has planted, grown, and harvested over 25,000 pounds of fresh produce. The produce has been distributed to over 1000 families in the community, free of charge.
