HUDA Urban Garden - Detroit Community Outreach | Projects & Events | HUDA Clinic - 11693935_858855137526567_311713727333335810_nTwo years ago, we successfully launched the HUDA Urban Garden - an initiative that provided months of fresh grown produce for our patients and the surrounding community. This project was started by our staff and student volunteers, and is a testament to the compassion and zeal for service that we have at HUDA. We are always looking for new ways to serve those who find themselves less fortunate than others. Two years in a row, we've been able to give months of fruits and vegetables to our patients to help them take a step in a healthier direction!

The projectHUG Vision:

To build a reliable, self-sufficient, sustainable, year-round urban garden that the surrounding community can depend on for fresh fruits and vegetables. To educate both young and old on the benefits of fresh vegetables in the diet to prevent obesity, health disparities, and how to eat to live; and finally to demonstrate – through community activism – how by utilizing God’s gifts of abundance we can help each other and encourage positive feelings.
