The three-year grant will ensure that Tapestry Farms can sustainably grow while taking on the intertwined work of food insecurity and supporting refugee families.

From the Democratic Republic of Congo to Syria, our nation—including the people of the Quad-Cities—has welcomed people who so desperately needed refuge from the life-threatening conditions in their home countries. The need is greater now than ever before as the United Nations estimates 2.9 million people will be in need of resettlement in 2025.

At Tapestry Farms, we embrace a social enterprise model that combines the principles of social entrepreneurship with direct service to refugees in the Quad Cities. This approach allows us to not only provide essential support to families resettling in our community, but also to build a sustainable, community-driven organization that reinvests in both people and the land.
