Iskashitaa Refugee Network is dedicated to improving the lives of refugees and the broader community through sustainable food initiatives, hands-on educational programs, and community partnerships.
We create opportunities for refugees to share, learn, work and build meaningful connections while fostering a more resilient and inclusive local food system and integrated community.
We integrate refugees into Arizona through food based programs

Harvesting
Iskashitaa volunteers harvest from residential trees, community and urban gardens, and the beautiful Tucson desert collecting useable produce that would have otherwise gone to waste.
