Our Progress
From our groundbreaking ceremony to a full structure construction, Fountain Heights’ first market in 70 years is almost done!
Thank you to our sponsors!
Almost…
Inflation has driven construction costs up significantly, leaving us with a $300,000 funding gap.
Current funding will allow us to finish the structure, and build out most of the bottom floor. However, we won’t be able to finish the top floor and key amenities if we don’t close this gap.
We’ve secured a $100k Match!
We’re calling on our partners, community supporters, and neighbors to help us Finish the Heart.

LET’S CLOSE THE GAP.
Your support will help us finish what we started—and deliver on the promise of fresh food and economic opportunity for Fountain Heights.
Our community knows how to make $1 out of $0.15—we’ve done it time and time again. But we shouldn’t have to stretch every dollar just to build something this essential.
This space will feed families, create jobs, and bring dignity and opportunity back to our neighborhood.
