Donate

Invest in your community.

Healthy Connections exists because people choose to invest in their community. Every donation, whether money, supplies, equipment, plants, building materials, or simply spreading the word, helps us create opportunities for people to serve, learn, and connect.

Make a monetary gift

Support Healthy Connections

The simplest way to help. Financial gifts let us buy materials, respond to unexpected needs, and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Every contribution, regardless of size, moves projects forward.

Project-specific donations

Give something tangible, and support local business.

Many supporters prefer to donate something tangible. Before buying online, we encourage you to support the local businesses that support our mission. The best way to help is often to purchase supplies directly through them.

Wayne's Feed Store

Call ahead and purchase items for the orchard, garden, and flock:

  • Fruit trees
  • Nut trees
  • Berry bushes
  • Seeds
  • Fertilizer
  • Chickens
  • Bees
  • Animal feed
  • Gardening supplies

Wilson's Building Supply

Construction needs change constantly. Rather than guessing which lumber, hardware, or fittings we need, supporters can call Wilson’s and add funds directly to the Healthy Connections account. Those funds are then used as materials are needed for greenhouses, fencing, irrigation, community spaces, and future construction, so every dollar is used efficiently.

Are you a local business owner?

Whether you can provide materials, equipment, expertise, services, discounts, or sponsorships, we’d love to hear from you. We’d be proud to highlight businesses that support Healthy Connections. Let’s get your name up here and get to work.
