“The delivering hope program ensures no one in the oxford community is isolated or experiencing food or housing insecurity, exacerbated by the covid pandemic. Delivering hope was initiated in response to covid. Silo friends were hit hard and fast by covid- some got sick, many lost their jobs and almost all lost wages. Requests for food increased instantaneously. We creatively and immediately adapted our services to ensure their needs were met. We support our friends through relationship building, ongoing food deliveries and emergency assistance. Twice weekly, bags of fresh produce, meat and canned goods are delivered to vulnerable people in our community. When delivering food and personal items, we find that relational connection is one of the most hopeful things we bring to people's doorstep.”

“We empower our friends to provide for their own food needs through backyard gardening, a community garden and educational workshops. To help our friends further stabilize their food source, we launched growing with silo, a backyard gardening program that has made, installed and filled over 200 raised garden beds in the backyards of the most vulnerable people in oxford. These mini vegetable gardens empower our friends to grow their own food and learn about sustainable growing practices. To further empower friends growing their own food, we created the growing together community garden- a place where friends and neighbors come together to grow food for themselves and others.”
