Neighborhood Roots Food Collective exists to support community members and local farmers in growing the food that we eat, while helping to ensure that all of our neighbors have access to nourishing, locally-produced food.
Neighborhood Roots is a volunteer-run nonprofit and we couldn't do this work without YOU! We rely on our generous community to do the important work of strengthening Guilford's local food economy, building community connections, and improving food access for everyone.
To continue this work in 2026, we need to raise $38,000.
This funding will allow us to:
Keep the Guilford Food Hub Running ($5,000) - Rent, insurance, payment processing fees, supplies & equipment
Develop Our Farm & Education Property ($30,000) - Build infrastructure so farmers, school kids & community members can utilize this special place in Guilford Center
Cover Essential Operating Costs ($3,000) - Nonprofit insurance, property taxes, & administrative costs
Every dollar you give goes directly into programs. Your support means:
$50 buys materials for hands-on food workshops
$100 covers payment processing fees for a month at the Guilford Food Hub
$1,500 covers insurance for the food hub for a year
$5,000 contributes to property infrastructure that will serve our community for decades
But more than that, your gift says: Our rural community matters. Our farmers matter. Our neighbors' access to good food matters.

The Neighborhood Roots Food Collective Board
To support our neighbors during this time of uncertainty, we created a Food Security Fund for anyone who needs help paying for food.
Added bonus: All of this money stays within our local community. Every dollar spent at the Guilford Food Hub goes to local farmers and food producers.
Local food is a community effort!
With your help, we can continue to increase food resilience in our community. Thank you for your support.

Food is more than just what we eat.
It's about Relationships.
With our neighbors, with our farmers, with the land.
It's about Sharing with and Caring for one another.
It's about Empowerment and Security.
Knowing we can feed ourselves. Right. Here.
Good food shouldn't be a privilege, it's for ALL of us.
Growing, Sharing, Preserving, Enjoying, Empowering, Together
Local...Wonderful...Delicious...Food.
