What Do We Need?
The Growing Center, Inc. manages on a very limited budget. One of our greatest challenges is funding. We raise money through donations, memberships, tuition-based programs, and fundraising events. We receive financial support through foundation grants and corporate sponsors.

• Large Riding Lawn Mower
• Office supplies -Chairs for office and conference room

• Lumber (for various projects)
