Added Value

We Need Your Help

Hurricane Sandy submerged our community farm and our neighborhood in several feed of sea water when it came ashore on October 29th, 2012. Added Value's Red Hook Farm grows more than just food. It catalyzes a Food Justice ecosystem in our community through youth empowerment programs. It ensures our neighborhood has access to healthy, affordable food.

If you believe in our mission, we need your help now more than ever. Here's how you can help:

1. Donate. A gift of any amount is welcome, via PayPal or Credit Card.

2. Volunteer. Follow our updates on Facebook and contact us for ways to help.
