Letters of Support: The simplest way to help is by writing a letter of support. As a basic step, we need aligned community organizations and individuals with similar goals to publicly state that you agree with the Farm's principles, mission, and/or plans. Documented support from the community legitimizes the Farm's efforts on a social level and proves that what we are doing is useful in a practical way. Moreover, it demonstrates the variety of allies willing to play a role ensuring the project doesn't fail.

A letter should include a description of the supporting organization or individual, how your mission or values are in line with ours, and why the Farm is important. Any specific mention of skills, resources, or partnerships you can offer should be clearly highlighted: from experienced advice to promotional collaboration, workshop facilitation to in-kind donations of labor and materials.

Try/on Life Community Farm grows community learning in Portland while preserving common green space, restoring native ecosystems, and demonstrating sustainable urban density living.
