A campaign for sustaining the work of food justice in Syracuse, Onondaga County, and Onondaga Nation.
Grow With Us
Plant a Seed with SOFSA
Since 2019, SOFSA has been building a network of changemakers reshaping our region's food system. As we step into a new chapter – one shaped by shifting federal funding, urgent local needs, and the steady work of building food sovereignty – we are inviting our community to plant alongside us.
Plant a Seed is our annual campaign.
We trust in the abundance of this network. Whether you show up, raise your voice, or contribute financially, you’re investing in a more just food system for us all.

Resourcing the work is how we sustain it.
Your contribution sustains the initiatives, partnerships, and people that make SOFSA's work possible. Every dollar helps move resources to grassroots projects, keeps our Community Connectors in the field, and supports the convenings and campaigns that turn shared vision into shared action.
Take Action
Food justice is built through advocacy as much as through dollars.
Lend your voice to the campaigns we are working on with our partners – from protecting SNAP to advancing Universal School Meals, from local food procurement to broader food system policy. Together, we can shape the policies that determine how our food system works and ensure it works for us all.
Why your support matters now
The funding landscape we are stepping into in 2026 looks meaningfully different from the one that built SOFSA over the past seven years. Federal investments that anchored much of our growth are no longer guaranteed. Local support – from individual donors, community funders, and committed
neighbors – is what will sustain this work through the chapter ahead.
The next chapter of SOFSA will be shaped by who shows up.
Become a Monthly Giver
Recurring gifts give SOFSA the steady foundation we need to execute our work boldly and respond quickly. They are the kind of support that mirrors the rhythm of the work itself – consistent, generative, and rooted in long-term commitment.
Consider a monthly gift you can comfortably sustain, a subscription to food justice work. Or choose to make a one-time gift if you have the resources to spare.
With gratitude to the Onondaga County Agriculture Council, whose matching support helps every donation go further.
