🌿 Help the Lucus Legacy Garden Grow!

Right here in Durham, we’re planting more than vegetables — we’re planting hope, connection, and community.

As the cost of living rises and many older adults face the loss of SNAP (food assistance) benefits, access to fresh, healthy food has become even more important. The Lucus Legacy Garden at the Durham Center for Senior Life (DCSL) is our response — a place where older adults can grow their own produce, share gardening knowledge, and experience the joy of nurturing life together.

Your donation helps us keep this garden growing strong by funding essentials like:
🌱 Garden beds and ADA-accessible planters so everyone can take part
🌾 Soil, compost, and seeds for healthy harvests
💧 Tools and supplies to maintain and expand the garden

Every contribution — big or small — helps our participants grow food, friendships, and pride in something they’ve built together.

Join us in cultivating health, hope, and community in the heart of downtown Durham. Together, we can help older adults thrive and ensure that no one faces hunger alone.

Give today to help the Lucus Legacy Garden continue to bloom.
