East End Houston’s Finca Tres Robles is earmarking a percentage of their produce this upcoming Fall to go to up to ten (10) families at Ninfa Laurenzo Early Childhood Center and they are looking for Community Sponsors to provide these shares free of charge. Finca Tres Robles was founded and built with the purpose of being a positive resource for our community. They are fully committed to ensuring that their produce remains here in the neighborhood and are continuing to work to find ways to better serve our neighbors.

Located less than 1/2 a mile from the farm, Ninfa Laurenzo Early Childhood Center offers a full day Pre-Kindergarten program to children in the area and last year sent students by for a field trip to Finca Tres Robles. Having also taken the initiative to start a garden at the school, the community farm also decided to help expand on the great work that the school has been doing to improve the health opportunities available to the children and families they serve. With just a relatively small contribution, you can have an impact on deserving East End families.

Through the Houston Food Bank, these parents will also be able to attend free healthy cooking and nutrition classes on the farm throughout the season to help parents navigate ways to use the seasonal produce, some of which may be unfamiliar to them. Finca Tres Robles hopes that through this partnership they can help the youngest in our community form healthy habits that will positively impact their lives for many years to come.
