GRuB grows community in Thurston County and beyond
In Olympia, a busy 3-acre farm boasts a bounty of produce that does more than feed bellies — it also nourishes a community.
This is the Garden-Raised Bounty (GRuB) farm, where youth, veterans, families with limited income and other community members join together to grow healthy food, people and communities.
Each year, GRuB engages approximately 1,500 Thurston County residents in programming that addresses healthy youth and families, community food solutions and engaged leaders.
Watch the video to see how GRuB creates opportunities for people to learn, lead and thrive. Learn more on GRuB’s website.
“Partnering for healing and a healthy future” is MultiCare’s mission, and it inspires us to form connections that help improve the quality of life for our communities. Community organizations all around us are doing amazing work, and we’re inspired and excited to support that work.
Stories from our Community is an ongoing series conceived to dive into some of these organizations*, bring their stories to life and spread the word about how they are making our communities better.
*Some of the organizations profiled in this series are recipients of MultiCare’s Community Partnership Fund, which awards funds to nonprofit organizations working on initiatives, programs and projects that improve our community.
