• Garden Program Application

    The Chester County Food Bank (CCFB) seeks to create a food secure Chester County. We mobilize and educate our community to ensure equitable access to nutritious and familiar food.

  • The Garden Partner program is housed in the CCFB department of Food Access & Education, which works to empower adults, children, and families to participate in their local food system by giving them the space to choose, grow, cook and learn about fresh, healthy foods.

    If you are interested in becoming a garden, plant distribution, or education partner site, please fill out the application below! Make sure you have read through our program overview (linked on our website), and if you have any further questions contact CCFB staff.
