Event Made Possible By
We appreciate the support of all participants.
Beauty's Community Garden is located at 3201 Airline @ E. 32nd Street, in Independence Heights–the first African American municipality in Texas. Our mission is to close the gap on food inequities and achieve a community culture of health and well-being. Our programs, events and educational materials focus on breaking the cycle of food insecurity, poor nutrition, and the resulting health outcomes people experience who have poor access to fresh produce. These communities are called food deserts, and our garden is located in one of forty plus food deserts in Houston. We are committed to transforming lives through showing the connections between growing foods and their nutritional impact on health, wellbeing and life's possibilities.
Through this event we would like to promote the Heights HEB store. Specifically, the fresh ingredients and convenient products we offer for healthy cooking options. Additionally, we are promoting cooking connections departments which offers a variety of cooking demos 7 days a week from 11am-7pm.
