Naknek, AK
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2023
Project Category: Community Gardens
Description: Shipping delays left Naknek residents without reliable fresh produce, prompting elders to seek space to teach gardening traditions. The center installed raised beds and ADA-compliant benches, creating a safe spot for older adults to grow food and gather with family. Volunteers built the beds and benches, and workshops will help elders share skills with younger generations. The garden now offers residents without land a way to raise vegetables while preserving cultural practices and strengthening community ties.
