The Wassamasaw Community Garden and Food Sovereignty program is dedicated to empowering the 1,500-member Wassamasaw Tribe of Varnertown Indians by fostering sustainable agriculture, food security, and cultural preservation. With the Lowe’s Hometowns grant, the barn that had been significantly damaged by Hurricane Helene will be restored to provide critical support for our food sovereignty efforts, including roof repairs, structural reinforcement, and the installation of new doors and ventilation. These improvements will create a safe, reliable space for storage, directly benefiting our elders and youth by ensuring access to nutritious, culturally significant food, and strengthening the tribal community's resilience for generations to come.
