Our priority at Jaws Youth Playbook, a foundation created by Ron Jaworski, is to combat food insecurities in low-income communities by providing access to fresh and healthy meals. One of the ways we take action is by constructing or reviving community gardens.
According to AmericanFitnessIndex.org, community gardens play a crucial role in reducing food insecurity by up to 90% in affected areas. This is why Ron’s Foundation donated $20,000 to The Unforgotten Haven in Blackwood, NJ, to support the development of a new community garden. The garden will provide essential items for the entire community on a weekly basis! We were able to add a colorful mural to the space with the help of our donation, enhancing its vibrancy.
