<div>My name is David Thompson, founder of Urban Harvest Exchange and a long-time community food sovereignty advocate in Tacoma, Washington. I’ve spent years growing, gleaning, and giving away thousands of pounds of fresh produce to my neighbors through mutual-aid gardens, community sharing tables, and local food sovereignty networks.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But I’m ready to build something bigger — something that can help entire cities grow their own food, share surplus, and feed their communities.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> THE PROJECT: URBAN FARMERS APP

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Urban Farmers is a mobile app that connects:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> Urban farmers who need land

</div>

<div>with

</div>

<div> Landowners who have yard space but don’t want to garden.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The idea is simple and powerful:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>✔ Landowner provides yard space + water

</div>

<div>✔ Farmer provides labor, seeds, tools, soil, and care

</div>

<div>✔ Landowner receives 25% of everything grown

</div>

<div>✔ Both commit to donating 20% of the harvest

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>to a local food bank or food sovereignty organization

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And local organizations can join the app for $50 per season to receive verified produce donations.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This app turns unused yards into productive gardens — and turns neighborhoods into community food systems.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> WHY THIS MATTERS

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Many people want to grow food but have no land

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Many yards sit unused while families struggle with groceries

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Food banks desperately need fresh produce

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Communities want to help each other, but don’t know how to connect

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Urban Farmers solves all of these issues in one simple tool.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This app will help cities grow more food locally, reduce grocery strain, feed neighbors in need, and create real community connections.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is not a business project — it is a food sovereignty tool built by community, for community.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> WHAT YOUR DONATION FUNDS

</div>

<div><br />

<div> WHY I’M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m a disabled senior on a fixed income doing this work with my own hands, heart, and limited resources.

</div>

<div>I’ve built gardens, grown food, gleaned produce, and fed thousands of people — but building a full mobile app is beyond what I can finance alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This app is something I believe can change lives — not just mine, but entire neighborhoods and cities.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your support will help turn this vision into a real tool that helps people grow their own food and feed their communities.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> HOW YOU CAN HELP

</div>

<div>✔ Donate any amount

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every dollar helps build the app. No amount is too small.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>✔ Share this campaign

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sharing is just as valuable as donating.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>✔ Spread the word to gardeners, farmers, landowners, and food banks

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Community support is everything.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> THANK YOU

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for believing in food sovereignty, mutual aid, and community-powered solutions. With your support, we can bring Urban Farmers to life and help neighbors grow food, share land, and feed each other.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s grow something big together.
