Urban Agriculture Impact

Who We Are

Urban Agriculture Impact (UAI) is a Houston-based nonprofit focused on eliminating food deserts and strengthening community health through urban agriculture.
We mobilize volunteers to grow food, restore green spaces, and expand access to fresh produce in underserved neighborhoods.
Our work began in Houston’s Third Ward and is designed to scale across other communities facing food insecurity.
UAI partners closely with Harlem River Farms (HRF), a trusted community grower and educator, to deliver hands-on programs and measurable impact.
Together, we combine nonprofit leadership, community partnerships, and volunteer action to build stronger local food systems.

Mobilize volunteers to build, maintain, and expand community gardens and urban farms across Houston.
Host Garden Crawls — coordinated, multi-site volunteer days focused on planting, harvesting, and infrastructure improvements.

Organize Tree Giveaways to restore urban canopy and empower residents with planting knowledge.
Spearhead the Greening of Third Ward, a large-scale initiative restoring green spaces and expanding local food production.

	We operate at multiple community garden and urban farm sites across Houston, with an initial focus on the Third Ward. We do not operate from a single daily location. Volunteer opportunities are event-based and site-specific. Registered volunteers receive detailed location information, parking instructions, and site contact information prior to each scheduled workday or event. Most activities take place at community gardens, schools, churches, or partner facilities in Houston’s Third Ward and surrounding neighborhoods.
