Give Back Garden

Give Back Garden Harvested produce is available in our lobby on a first-come, first-served basis. The "Give Back Garden" is a project of Champaign-Urbana Public Health District.

Champaign-Urbana Public Health District's Give Back Garden aims to provide high-quality, fresh produce to those members of the local community that need it most. It is an opportunity for people from Champaign County to discuss their gardens, offer suggestions and advice to new gardeners, promote local Farmer's Markets and gardening events, encourage the use of LINK cards to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, and as a resource for donating excess produce to local food pantries.
