Peoria Grown

Our Mission Peoria Grown believes in two fundamental principles: 1. Everyone should have access to affordable, healthy food 2. Education is the key to helping individuals be self-sufficient and improve community wellness. Peoria Grown’s mission is to address food insecurity issues through improved coordination of resources; access to affordable, healthy food with an emphasis on fresh produce; and education on nutrition and making healthy food choices. Our goal is to support existing efforts by partnering with Peoria’s food banks, pantries, community gardens and grocery stores to provide solutions to these challenges.
