Our Story
Prosperity Gardens, a program of the City of Champaign Township offers employment opportunities through the CU@ Work Program, which employees homeless individuals on our urban farms. The program also offers affordable, locally grown produce through the Champaign Farmers Market. Donations are made to the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, as well as the Carle Mobile Market. Our urban gardening programming is currently centered on two city-owned lots on North First Street and in 2021 an additional 1 acre urban farm site will come to fruition.
