Get Moving. Give Back. Feed NYC.
Join the Strong Roots Summer Movement Challenge. 

Strong Roots is a 14-week virtual movement challenge supporting Services for the UnderServed (S:US)’ Urban Farms® and community food security work across New York City. The challenge is designed around virtual routes connecting S:US program sites — including urban farms, community fridges, and participant-led projects expanding access to fresh food and green space.

As you log miles in your own community, you’ll follow a visual journey through ours. Weekly goals and updates shared through the FREE Strava fitness tracking app will highlight the people, projects, and sites where fresh food is being grown, distributed, and shared throughout the city. Your participation directly supports the continued growth of these programs and the communities they serve.

Enroll using the form below! Participants who donate $35 or more will receive:

• Weekly movement challenges tied to featured program sites
• Access to challenge leaderboards and participant tracking through Strava
• Stories and highlights from S:US urban farms and food security initiatives
• Strong Roots Challenge swag and finisher recognition
• Invitations to future in-person community events, including our end-of-summer Harvest Celebration

After completing your donation, you will receive an email with further instructions on how to join the challenge on Strava and download the FREE app. All Strong Roots Challenge communications will be shared through Strava.

We look forward to having you join us this summer! Thank you for helping feed our neighbors and expand food access in NYC communities.
