Buckets of Rain has been growing hope and feeding lives since 2007. We support the rebuilding of Detroit by developing urban farms, turning blighted areas into agricultural oases that improve the food security of those living in the shadow of homelessness and hunger.
Since 2012 Buckets of Rain has been cleaning up blighted properties in Detroit/Highland Park and turning those properties into very productive vegetable gardens. The gardens provide multiple locations and opportunities for neighbors to reconnect via community gardening, volunteering, and neighborhood beautification. The vegetables grown in our gardens are provided free of charge to the homeless shelter kitchens of the Detroit Rescue Mission, Cass Community Social Services, and more. We distribute weekly to our neighbors and participants in the SAY Clinic's. "Clinic to Farm to Patient" program . We have distributed over 750,000 servings since 2012.
