Killeen Creators is a community development organization with a mission to relieve the impact of food deserts for the poor and distressed while building individual and community capacity through our Community Garden, Civic Empowerment, and Art of Recovery initiatives.

Our first priority has been to get Community Gardens established and producing locally grown fruits and vegetables throughout North Killeen. Through the generosity of our founding board members, we have one garden established and producing its second crop at 503 West Avenue J! We also have land purchased and ready to be prepared and planted on Bundrant Drive, AND are in negotiations for our third location.

In order to sustain the 1st Community Garden and establish the 2nd and 3rd ones, we need your help! We need more Members and we need our Members to share their financial and sweat equity at whatever level they are able.

We've developed the following Membership Dues options to encourage Membership at a variety of financial and work capacities.
