This initiative organizes community members while working with the Town ‘n Country collaborative and the Town ‘n Country Community Garden.

Strategies Employed

Facilitation

Community Engagement and Coalition Building

Fostering Awareness

CCC’s work in Town ‘n Country began when Fatima Elkott worked with Sweetwater Organic Community Farm in 2021 to see if residents wanted a community garden in their neighborhood.

Fatima would regularly canvass, communicate with residents and organizations in the area, and volunteered at Town and Country elementary to learn more about the community and its needs. Combining this knowledge with an in-depth literature review and analysis, Fatima created the community report below and used ESRI’s StoryMap to tell the story of Town ‘n Country.
