In 2019, Urban Harvest launched Double Up Houston, a SNAP incentive program that operates at 5 area farmers' markets, farm stands, and 13 Mobile Market sites. Food insecure families and individuals can use their SNAP benefits to purchase fresh, local foods at participating markets and farm stands and receive an additional $40 match in Double Up Food Bucks to use on fruits and vegetables. Urban Harvest's Mobile Market partners with clinics, churches, schools, housing organizations, community centers, and other community-based sites to offer farm-fresh produce in underserved communities. See Schedule O for additional details.Additionally, we launched the Northeast Community Farmers Market in 2019 with community members and still include this as a Mobile Market site that serves a long-standing food desert with nutritious options and a place for the community to gather. 296929 24380 The Urban Harvest Youth Education Program transforms school gardens into outdoor classrooms through weekly hands-on lessons for children and through the Edible Academy, a series of workshops to train educators on integrating their curriculum with school gardens. In 2023, Urban Harvest trained 39 educators, who will reach an estimated 5,000 students and teachers with their gardening knowledge. Additionally, we hosted weekly education at 6 schools and taught students how to grow, harvest, and prepare an average of 16 crops. On average, 90% of these schools are Title 1 schools and serve an average of 95% economically disadvantaged students and families. See Schedule O for additional details.In 2023, Urban Harvest offered over 90 garden classes unique to the Houston area that focus on growing fruits and vegetables organically and living sustainably. The knowledgeable instructors provide classroom and hands-on experiences to support a vibrant, local food system. 276354 216513 Urban Harvest Farmers Market Program provides Houstonians with year-round access to local, healthy food and the opportunity to meet and know their farmers. In 2023, the Saturday Farmers Market encouraged a vibrant, sustainable, and community-based food system and provided a venue for approximately 100 local farmers, ranchers, and food producers to enhance their economic opportunity by having a year-round, low-cost platform to support their businesses and aid in job creation for the regional economy. The Farmers Market also provided a community space for over 45,000 residents to gather and purchase nutritious food while spending time outdoors with their neighbors and local farmers. 248163 22500 46671 Urban Harvest's Permaculture Certification Program hosts specialized classes and series to help participants earn their 100-hour Permaculture Design Certification (PDC). Permaculture is "permanent culture," a way of beingsustainable and regenerative by designing solutions with food, energy, nature, and community in mind. PDC graduates are instrumental in conducting sustainability projects across Greater Houston and Urban Harvest's Community Gardens, Youth Education, and Farmers Market programs. In the past two decades of teaching this certification, Urban Harvest continues to make this an affordable and equitable program; with available scholarships, work-study opportunities, flexible completion, and volunteering, we strive to make PDC accessible for all. 124085 1005 Urban Harvest was founded on the idea that community gardens are critical in fighting hunger, creating a sense of community, and improving nutritional choices that increase health and wellness. Urban Harvest supports more than 150 affiliate gardens by distributing seasonal garden materials (plant starts, fertilizer, and fruit trees for free), maintaining a year-round seed bank for all gardens, offering free educational opportunities, and providing volunteer referrals, workdays, and other community-based support. 372248 22500 47676 1757718 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 34 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X Juli Jackson 7138805540 1911 W 34th Street Houston TX 77018 Heather Houston President 15.00 X X 0 0 0 Beth Clark Vice President 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Jerry W Fabian Treasurer 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Katherine Chambers Secretary 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Rod Borges Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bailey Dalton Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sammy Ford Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tiffany Dugar Hatchett Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Lamme Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jake Slosburg Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brandy Spainhoward Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Will Thompson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Janna Robertson Executive Director 40.00 X 141583 0 24468 141583 0 24468 1 0 0 0 0 144682 1858666 26500 2003348 Booth fees 900099 216513 216513 Food, tree, book, seed sales 900099 82057 82057 Classes and teaching fees 611600 71051 71051 Food access, garden 900099 1005 1005 370626 55955 55955 819296 1051 830199 0 -10903 1051 -9852 -9852 59780 144682 61127 -1347 -1347 2418730 370626 0 44756 40108 40108 166051 99631 27354 39066 854607 628914 170097 55596 72222 54607 11773 5842 80903 57975 7959 14969 5648 5648 42725 42725 2617 2617 222678 184346 5781 32551 98233 98233 71082 26340 22470 22272 86618 58557 17886 10175 68651 53415 9947 5289 16267 12040 2269 1958 36159 16387 1290 18482 50228 48062 1414 752 32237 27646 2997 1594 Food 151990 151990 Program supplies 146944 146944 Equipment 26981 26981 Printing & publications 25542 25542 2298491 1757718 332227 208546 412617 425338 504558 509077 514692 565604 21266 15753 699 1797 5623 6595 336009 109557 176620 226452 731083 739825 2367158 2490441 140705 128179 140705 128179 X 1325303 1511181 901150 851081 2226453 2362262 2367158 2490441 120239 15570 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1742938 1247562 1544269 2092108 2003348 8630225 1742938 1247562 1544269 2092108 2003348 8630225 1104739 7525486 11790 7690 1429 12788 55955 89652 8719877 2123757 0.86300 0.89990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20512 5846 14666 315497 103711 211786 226452 2435883 15570 26700 42270 2393613 2617 22500 25117 2418730 2300074 26700 26700 2273374 2617 22500 25117 2298491 Part XI, Line 4b - Other Adjustments: Scholarships 22,500.
