Fostering a healthier community and planet

Sustainable Renton is a volunteer-driven non-profit committed to building a more equitable and sustainable future while fostering meaningful connections. Our mission is to foster a healthier, more sustainable, and equitable community by promoting environmental stewardship, food justice, and education. We work to ensure that all community members have access to nutritious food, sustainable resources, and opportunities to engage in meaningful environmental action.

Our Programs.

Food Justice 

Nearly 40% of all food in the U.S. is wasted! Through our dedicated volunteers and giving community, we can reclaim thousands of pounds of food every month and ensure it gets into the hands of those who need it! Through our food justice program, our food rescue services support a diverse range of hunger relief organizations, and we strive to increase our reach every month! 

Community Education and Outreach

We offer free public lectures, workshops, and discussions featuring local experts. Each year, we host talks on topics like zero-waste living, seed-starting, mushroom identification, plant care, and more! Our goal is to inspire and empower the community to adopt sustainable practices for a healthier, more sustainable, and connected environment. 

 

Have expertise to share? Apply to host a lecture or workshop!

Community Garden Network

Since 2013, we’ve run a community garden at Celebration Foursquare Church with the addition of a new Food Forest and orchard planted in 2023. Our goal is to expand access to gardening in Renton, encouraging people to grow their own food for a more localized food system.​ Our Community Garden has 36 plots available for rent each year. Membership in our Garden requires additional work hours to spend in helping upkeep the Garden as a whole, encouraging our community of gardeners to take mutual responsibility. The addition of our Food Forest will serve as a sustainable food source for hunger relief organizations and a place for community education for years to come!

 

The signup for plot rentals is closed, to join our waitlist, please apply below.
