Promise of Peace Gardens

Promise of Peace Gardens is a Dallas-based non-profit organization that transforms vacant urban spaces into productive community and school food gardens. Founded in 2009 by Elizabeth Dry, the organization addresses food insecurity by providing underserved families with access to fresh, organic produce and nutritional education. Key initiatives include the "Seed to Soul" cooking classes and the "Soup It Forward" program, which distributes soup kits to encourage community sharing and healthy eating. Operating across North and East Texas, the organization partners with local school districts and community centers to foster environmental stewardship and social-emotional healing through urban agriculture.
