• Steward the historic buildings and conservation land as a community asset

• Grow our free, dual language, and adaptive programs to local families by 100%

• Increase healthy food donations from our garden and kitchen by 50% to families facing food insecurity in Lake County

• Introduce incubator space in our Learning Kitchen for 6 - 8 emerging food businesses and feature their products in our market
