Weekly Update: Fund the Farm Progress
Because of YOU, we’re inching closer to our goal of raising $60,000 by December 31 to Fund the Farm.
So far, the community has raised an incredible $36,900! We have EIGHT teams raising money for New Growth Project by asking their friends and colleagues to support our mission. Team Captains will win a prize from the farm. The team that raises the most funds enjoys a dinner at the O'Driscoll home. That means more employment hours, more seeds planted, and more opportunities for our mission employees to gain independence and purpose.
Want to help us cross the finish line? Here’s how to give:
Give through your donor-advised fund, employer match, or stock transfer
Every dollar makes it possible for us to provide meaningful, paid employment for adults with disabilities in West Michigan.
Our farm grows more than food—it grows people.

New This Week:
đźš— Big Impact: Fox Motors + Subaru Partnerships
We’re still riding the wave of gratitude after an incredible collaboration with Fox Motors and their Drive for $25 campaign, which raised $33,800 for New Growth Project!
This generous gift will directly impact our 2026 programming—expanding peer mentorship, opening more job opportunities, and supporting our job training efforts.
We’re also proud to be part of the Subaru Share the Love® campaign. When customers choose New Growth Project as their preferred charity at participating Subaru retailers, Subaru donates $250 with each new vehicle lease or purchase — happening now at your local Subaru dealer!
We’re so thankful to our partners—and to YOU—for choosing us.
