Dancing Roots Farm CSA Scholarship Fund
By purchasing a "share" of the season's bounty, CSA members receive produce at it's peak of flavor from late May to Thanksgiving. Although each growing season has its unique challenges shares typically consist of 5-15 different items, and weigh from 3-18 pounds. For those who cannot readily afford the cost of membership, the Scholarship Fund can be tapped for up to 50% of the cost of a share. dancingrootsfarm.com

Food Works: A Janus Youth Program
Food Works is a youth employment and empowerment program that engages 14-21 year old young people in all aspects of planning, growing, selling and donating over 4,000 pounds of organic produce each year from their 1-acre organic farm on Sauvie Island. Food Works Crew Members learn business, leadership, organic agriculture and other important work and life skills through working as team to market their food at farmers markets and local grocery stores, and donating a significant portion of the food they grow back to their community. Crew Members also receive school credit for their work and are supported to transition into other employment opportunities and to succeed in their academic goals (five Food Works' graduates, all immigrants from East Africa, have received college scholarships through Janus' Scholarship program). janusyouth.org

Sauvie Island Organics CSA Scholarship Fund
Sauvie Island Organics believes that everyone in the community deserves affordable access to healthy fresh produce.
