Seeding Solidarity:

Nourishing Food Sovereignty in Western Massachusetts

Sonrisas' Keystone Program

Collaboratively Led by Finca Luna Búho & Woven Roots Farm

Seeding Solidarity is the largest solidarity share program in the region, providing weekly vegetable distributions to our vulnerable community members who might otherwise lack access to fresh, local vegetables. However, it's more than a food program—it's a movement for food justice, land connection, and collective care. For over two decades, our work has ensured that fresh, culturally relevant food is accessible to immigrant, BIPOC, and working-class families—all while centering language justice, agricultural education, and community empowerment.

Due to state and federal funding cuts, Sonrisas, Finca Luna Búho and Woven Roots Farm have collectively lost 94% of the funding that would have been allocated towards maintaining and improving Seeding Solidarity.

We are seeking your support to help us sustain this vital work in 2026 and beyond, particularly in light of recent federal funding cuts that have significantly impacted food access programs like ours. These cuts have eliminated critical resources that supported equitable food distribution, community-led agriculture, and outreach to marginalized communities. Without this support, the burden falls even more heavily on grassroots, volunteer-led initiatives like Seeding Solidarity.

What We Do

Seeding Solidarity connects people with nourishing food and ancestral knowledge through:

Weekly door-to-door delivery of fresh produce grown at Woven Roots Farm
Workshops, knowledge shares, and land-based community gatherings where Black, Indigenous, people of color, and queer lives and voices are centered
Agricultural education in partnership with local schools and organizations
Support for migrant justice and cultural connection.
Deeply relational, trust-based organizing led by immigrants/BIPOC
Language accessibility and justice: 98% of our community is Spanish-speaking — every communication starts in Spanish, then gets translated into English, centering our experiences of language justice.

How You Can Help

Seeding Solidarity needs your support now more than ever. In the face of disappearing federal and state support, and direct targeting of our community, we are asking for your help to:

Maintain our life-sustaining fresh food delivery program at this critical time
Continue offering no-cost workshops and land-based education to Seeding Solidarity participants
Support youth leadership in our community
Prioritize critical immigrant justice work
Fund translation and language justice services

Every dollar helps us stay rooted in care, equity, and collective liberation. Your support directly counters the loss of institutional funding, keeping this essential work going.
