Support the Chicken Scratch Campaign!

Just Food’s City Chicken Project provides the training, coops and hens that schools and community gardening groups need to raise healthy chickens and delicious eggs. For 2012, we've selected four community and school groups to become City Chicken Project sites.

We need to raise $11,000 to provide training to our partners and build these four coops. Won't you help us reach our goal by donating $20 of scratch for our chickens? This project relies 100% on donations from Just Food supporters so please make a donation today!

What your contribution provides:

• $20 buys wood, nails, chicken wire and other building materials -- the costs add up fast, so every little bit counts;
• $50 covers the cost of essential start-up supplies, like waterers and feeders;
• $200* provides our new chicken keepers with a workshop on chicken care;
• $1,000* underwrites the cost of a whole community coop-building day. (Watch the 20-second video of the 2011 Brook Park coop build below to see what we mean when we say the whole community gets involved.)

The City Chicken Project would not be possible without the volunteer hours, donations large and small, and the vibrant energy and ideas of the communities we work with. Thank you for supporting happy, healthy hens in NYC!

*Donors giving $150 or more will receive a pack of our beautiful City Chicken Notecards; our way of saying thanks, your way of sharing your love of chickens.
