What We Do

Zealous Empowering Nurturer, Incorporated (ZEN) was established in September 2021 aimed to reduce food insecurity in the Charlotte, NC area. ZEN’s mission is to encourage healthy eating, provide personal gardening spaces, and supply fresh food to those in need within the community. Our primary project, ZEN’s Garden For The Community, offers a shared space for learning and engagement. Through this educational edible landscape, we empower community members with the knowledge and skills to lead healthier lives. 

Interesting Info

  • We host educational classes to the community to teach them how to live healthier lifestyles.
  • We empower the youth to become gardeners and eat more nutritious foods through our Empower Our program. We work with over 600 plus students weekly.
