Thank you for visiting Growing Healthy Veterans. Our mission is rooted in service — service to those who served our country and service to the community we call home. Through sustainable agriculture, hands‑on learning, and meaningful community engagement, we provide veterans with opportunities to heal, reconnect, and rediscover purpose.
Every program we offer is designed to strengthen physical health, support mental well‑being, and build lasting bonds between veterans and the North Chicago community. I’m proud of the work we do, and even more proud of the people who make it possible.
I invite you to learn more, get involved, and help us continue growing hope, resilience, and community.
Sincerely, Ellen Ewing President, Growing Healthy Veterans
