100 Days of Healing!
Join us in transforming Newark — Over the next 100 days, in partnership with STEAMforME and local collaborators, APIAN Industry is on a mission to raise $250,000 to transform the urban farm at 149 Fabyan Place into the SAFE (Science, Agriculture, Food & Economics) Lab. This community-powered hub will provide hands-on education, wellness support, economic opportunity, and environmental sustainability to Newark.
This space will be more than a garden. It will be Newark’s first neighborhood-based innovation hub for:
Mental health & wellness programs
STEAM and environmental education
Food production & entrepreneurship
Community healing and economic growth
