A continuing commitment of the
Kiwanis Club of Henrietta
is our partnership with
Rochester Roots. 
Explore how you can help bring good food to the children of the inner-city  
 

Rochester Roots is committed to the creation of urban school and community garden-based educational programs for youth and adults. These programs focus on growing, preparing and enjoying high quality, safe, affordable healthy food. This organization is creating a locally sustainable food system to help low-income people in Rochester obtain nutritious, locally grown food. The School-Community Garden project transforms underutilized schoolyards into urban gardens, and the produce is harvested and distributed to students and community members who worked to grow that food.
