Community Projects
BEET BOX
The Beet Box provides education and resources in the Othello neighborhood in Southeast Seattle. We believe that healthy food is a big part of a healthy community, so our classes aim to increase gardening awareness, encourage urban gardening, and promote healthy eating.
Our classes and events are held from March – October in and around Othello Park and are always free and open to all!

HOSTED
HOSTED stands for Healthy Othello Safer Through Environmental Design. Since 2016, we have followed the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design concepts and methods to increase the safety for all people in our Othello Neighborhood’s safety hotspots.
Our Community Leadership Gatherings are held the first Thursday of each month (currently on Zoom) from 5:30-7 p.m. and everyone is welcome to attend.
