Throughout Winter WNDRland, WNDR Museum will partner with Urban Growers Collective, a Chicago-based Black and women-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that cultivates nourishing environments in Chicago’s historically disinvested communities, seeding pathways to freedom while supporting residents’ health, economic development, healing and creativity through urban agriculture. From November 25 through January 2, WNDR Museum will donate $5 to Urban Growers Collective for each order purchased using the promo code "GIVE".
“WNDR Museum is built on inspiring and creating joy within each of us, so there’s no better time than the holiday season to lean into that childlike joy even more,” said Ryan Kunkel, president of WNDR Global. “In addition to the festive holiday décor and WNDR’s version of a visit with Santa, we’re thrilled to partner with Urban Growers Collective this season to help them further their mission to develop community-based food systems and support Chicago communities in sustaining their own food growth and distribution.”
