USDA Seeks Input on Organic Initiative and Market Development Grants

Sankofa Community Development Cooperation aims to build, inspire, and serve the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, LA. They do so through a variety of projects, including a community garden that is designated as a USDA People’s Garden. Community members can work in the garden and can get fresh, nutritious food through harvesting produce themselves or by picking it up at Sankofa’s Food Bank.
