Every week from June through November, we show up.

Uptown & Boogie Healthy Project (UBHP) set up farmers markets in Harlem and the Bronx, bring local farmers face-to-face with families, and make sure fresh produce stays affordable and accessible — with SNAP/EBT, FMNP and Health Bucks accepted and incentive dollars that stretch every purchase further.

But we don't stop at the market table.

At the same market, our Kids Club employs young adults from CUNY and SYEP to run hands-on activities for 20+ children every Saturday and Sunday — art, movement, wellness, and nutrition education, right where families already gather. Community Chef brings local chefs and culinary educators to demonstrate affordable meals made with produce from our vendors, closing the loop between buying and cooking.

Back in Central Harlem, St Nicholas Miracle Garden greenhouse — built from scratch in 2024 — produces seedlings for Upper Manhattan and the Bronx community residents. Our internship program trains the next generation of food-system leaders, giving neighborhood young people real skills in agribusiness, technology, and community operations.

Now we're ready to scale.

We're raising funds for a refrigerated cargo van that will let us store and transport produce safely, expand our CSA routes, reduce food waste, and reach schools, health centers, and community institutions we can't serve today. The van connects everything we do — the community garden, the markets, the families, the farmers.

Your gift keeps all of it moving.

Every dollar goes directly into the community: paying farmers, launching careers for young adults, paying support staff, feeding kids, and building a food system that Harlem and the Bronx can count on — season after season.
