Join our growing community of dedicated monthly donors who are making a sweet impact.
At the peak of the growing season, a healthy hive buzzes with around 50,000 bees, all working together to sustain the colony. Every bee plays a role — whether it’s protecting the hive, gathering pollen, or nurturing the young — and their collective effort is what keeps the hive thriving. Only through teamwork and mutual support can the hive grow stronger season after season. The reward for their collaboration? Pure sweetness.
Similarly, The Hive — our monthly giving community — thrives through the power of teamwork. Like bees, we depend on the collective effort of many individuals to sustain and grow. Each member’s contribution, no matter the size, helps us create a world where every child can play, learn, and grow in nature.
