24 Austin volunteers have launched a 12-day campaign to raise $100,000+ for the Festival Beach Food Forest, with donations matched up to $25,000 through Big Green.
In less than two weeks, the ATX19 team is rallying donors and volunteers to expand edible growing areas, restore native prairie habitat, revive the community seed library, and create new gathering spaces.
The campaign culminates **August 20 with a ribbon-cutting and community celebration**, including local artists and influencers.
It’s a story about local leaders turning a long-delayed vision into action—and creating a lasting community resource.
