I am so excited to lace up with TEAM TILTH for the Oakland Running Festival on March 17th!! Urban Tilth is an incredible community-based and community-grown organization in Richmond with a mission that has movitated me to get running and make a goal post-baby Jack!! They live their mission through their actions - a model for community-driven food justice and community coalition building based in Richmond.

MISSION: Urban Tilth inspires, hires, and trains local residents to cultivate agriculture, feed our community, and restore relationships to land to build a more sustainable food system, within a just and healthier community.

The TEAM of people leadership behind Urban Tilth is AMAZING, and while they have a variety of initiatives, the one that I am most passionate about is their stewardship of the Richmond Greenway, and their work to cultivate a home-grown sustainable local food system. From their CSA, MLK Day of Service and Celebration at Unity Park, and their garden/greenway maintenance Saturdays in between, Urban Tilth has a **sustained** positive presence and continues to make the Greenway a joyful and active space for EVERYONE in Richmond, while educating folks in the process.

PLEASE JOIN ME and consider making a contribution to their work!! Let's gooo!
