The heart of <br />TTCF is an eight-acre farm in Chapel Hill, Orange County where refugee families grow <br />food, build farm businesses, celebrate culture, and create a sense of home. The farm <br />is at the core of TTCF’s Youth and Children programs, providing space for young <br />people ages 2-18 to explore identity, leadership, culture, and community, and also <br />supports TTCF’s hunger reduction programs including the Health Food Access <br />Program, an innovative model that provides food insecure refugee families a share of <br />the culturally appropriate traditional produce grown by TTCF refugee farmers. <br />Founded in 2009 as a project of the Orange County Partnership for Young Children, <br />TTCF became an independent 501(c)(3) in 2018 to focus more deeply on serving <br />refugees and immigrants through the lens of food, agriculture, and social justice. <br />TTCF has worked with 100+ refugee families throughout the area for more than a <br />decade, providing food access, land access, training, infrastructure, administrative <br />support, businesses development, child and youth education, and more to the refugee <br />community. Through this work, TTCF refugee farmers have developed successful <br />businesses, generated more than $1.2 million dollars in income and producing over <br />100,000 pounds of food per year, reaching more than 10,000 individuals, 20% of <br />which are food insecure. TTCF youth and children program has worked with 121 <br />participants since 2011, ensuring academic success, cultivating culture and <br />leadership, many participants becoming leaders throughout the state. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 1965B505-9714-4865-86DA-C1B1BD2AF858
