Meet The GrowHaus
Cultivating community-led food justice through food access, wellness education, career opportunities, and leadership development to build sustainable generational economic security.
What We Do
Reliable Fresh Food Access
The GrowHaus’ food access program breaks down barriers to nutrition and promotes health equity by providing 7,000 neighbors with convenient access to fresh food every month. Over the past 15 years, we have expanded our work from one zip code to 28 food access sites through partnerships with the Denver Public Library, Boys and Girls Clubs, health clinics, and other community hubs.
Youth-Focused Wellness and Leadership Programs
During youth programs, cooking and gardening workshops are just the beginning of a child’s leadership journey. Children and teens learn life skills, like following recipes and working as a team, and explore their power as emerging community leaders during field trips and independent passion projects.
Community Outreach and Adult Education
We see food access as a starting point for overall health, wellness, and sustainability. The GrowHaus’ Promotora (Community Health Specialist) team leads year-round cooking classes and home visits, where neighbors of all ages come together to build healthy habits and community connections by celebrating traditional flavors and discovering ways to prepare unfamiliar fruits and vegetables.
Wealth Building Opportunities
To address the root causes of food insecurity and to provide wealth-building opportunities, The GrowHaus hires and invests in the career pathways of our community members. The GrowHaus hires teens and adults to lead community programming where they prioritize skill development, personal growth, and leadership development.
