Therapy & Mentor Horticulture program Est. 2010

#1. Community Service Program : #2. Inmate Mentoring Program :

 Volunteer Inmates plant and tend gardens using donated seeds from local non-profit organizations. Fresh produce raised from the donated seeds will be donated to local shelters and local Food Banks in the community.

 The mentor program through the Prison volunteer program will help develop the inmates volunteering working the program into better citizens upon release.

 USP Leavenworth enjoys the community’s involvement through well established partnerships. This enhances positive public relations.

 In addition to benefitting the community, these programs are beneficial to the inmates who learn new and affordable marketable and social skills.

 Working beside the USP Leavenworth Food Service Horticulture Program. The Therapy Horticulture Program will need to donate a 2/3 ($1,500) of all seeds to be used in the overall Horticulture Program.  We are estimating that during this season period (May through November) that between 150,000 lbs to 200,000 lbs of produce will be donated.

 Over 80,000 lbs of produce was donated, with a cost savings over $200,000.  Over 4,000 families received produce through this program.
