IMPACT ACROSS OUR PROGRAMS
Grow & Give
In partnership with Punarvana
Hundreds of gardens established across home, school and community settings. Tens of thousands of seeds distributed. A registered seed hub at King County Newcastle Library. A school garden programme connecting children to the food they eat. Every seed shared is a step toward food sovereignty and community resilience.
Art for All
In partnership with Poorni's Artistry
Free monthly art lessons, community creative workshops, and collaborative art projects — making creativity accessible to every heart, every home, and every child. Art for All brings the studio into the community and the community into the studio.
Words Unbound
In partnership with Living Words
Creative writing workshops, literacy programmes, and storytelling events — giving every voice the space to be heard and every story the chance to find its page. Words Unbound supports writers and readers at every stage of their journey.
Kindred Connections
A From The Roots program — coming soon
Peer support circles, community well-being events, and belonging initiatives — building spaces where people feel seen, connected, and less alone. Kindred Connections is currently in development and will launch in a future phase.
THOSE WHO MAKE IT POSSIBLE
From The Roots is entirely volunteer-led. The generosity of our program partners, seed donors, and community supporters makes every initiative possible.

HAS FROM THE ROOTS MADE A DIFFERENCE?
