Food insecurity is an unreliable access to affordable and nutritious food. Rates of food insecurity in Galveston exceed national and state averages. A partnership between UTMB, the UTMB Greenies Gardening Club and Seeding Galveston will work with at-risk residents to build and maintain backyard and neighborhood gardens. The program will also establish a compost pick-up program designed to generate a cost-effective alternative to conventional garden fertilizer.
