ACCESS

ACCESS has been dedicated to helping residents of Jackson County Oregon break the cycle of poverty since 1976.  Through their Food Share Gardens, Access volunteers grow and harvest an abundance of food that is distributed locally.  In an effort to extend the growing season and propagate their own starts, Access has built two new greenhouses at their Central Point garden location.  Schwemm Family Foundation funds have helped with this effort, which will ultimately result in an increase in fresh, nutritious food being provided to local low-income community members.
