Treasure Valley Children’s Relief Nursery

Treasure Valley Childrens’ Relief Network (TVCRN) works to improve the diets of at-risk children by teaching parents to grown and prepare healthy food.  TVCRN is located in one of the highest-poverty counties in Oregon, and low-income communities are often hindered by a scarcity of available fresh produce. The Schwemm Family Foundation supported a TVCRN project utilizing raised bed gardens to grow vegetables along with a 6-week cooking course.  Maintaining healthy eating practices is a challenge, especially for marginalized populations, but with ongoing efforts such as this we hope to improve the health of children currently living in poverty.
