Davinci Gives Back: March Charity – The Green Urban Lunch Box

'The Green Urban Lunch Box is a food justice non-profit organization that seeks to empower people to connect to their food and community by revitalizing urban spaces and building a resilient food culture. 

Working in the middle of Salt Lake City’s urban landscape, we are challenging ourselves and our city to look at natural resources, food systems, and community involvement in innovative ways. We see immense value in fostering a community-centered, collaborative approach to improving food security, revitalizing urban spaces, localizing the food culture, and growing an urban farming community centered on equity, resilience, and sustainability.

Our mission is to empower people to connect to their food and community by revitalizing urban spaces and building a resilient food culture. We envision a strong network of communities centered on the cultivation of food.’

In March 2020, Davinci donated money to the organization to assist in their mission. Due to community efforts to social isolate in these difficult times, we were unable to provide volunteer work for the organization. Davinci fully plans to volunteer in the near future.  

And here is a word from Jenae, the development director for The Green Urban Lunch Box:
 
Thank you so much for your donation today! We deeply appreciate it. This money will go directly towards empowering people to connect to food and their community through urban agriculture efforts. I heard you all were supposed to come out to volunteer and it's a shame (but obviously necessary) to move it out. I look forward to getting to meet you all then. If you have questions or want to connect please reach out! Your gift is so needed, and we are so grateful. Please share our gratitude with the rest of your team. Thank you!
