CFVI Grantee Spotlight: We Grow Food
Thanks to Cruzan Rum’s Island Spirit Fund, CFVI awarded a grant to We Grow Food to support the restoration of native fruit trees on the island of St. Thomas. The 2017 hurricanes destroyed local ecosystems and were devastating to the local agricultural industry, causing the Territory to lose thousands of fruit trees, which contributed to many farmers' incomes. With this grant, 33 farmers received an average of 16 fruit tree varieties each to replace those lost during the hurricanes, resulting in the distribution of over 500 fruit trees and over 900 volunteer hours. The farmers were also able to attend a workshop that provided materials and best practices for preparation of fruit trees prior to hurricane season, hosted in partnership with the University of the Virgin Islands.

“Without the assistance of CFVI, the St. Thomas Swimming Association would have been forced to close and it is doubtful that it would be in operation today.”
“Thank you Community Foundation. With your support, I am able to pursue my dreams of higher education.”
