About us
Formerly PCGRO (Pierce County GrassRoots Organizing), on September 20, 2022, we changed our name to more accurately reflect the scope of our work. We also launched a new affiliate, GROWW Action, to take on projects of a political nature while GROWW engages in community led projects.
This exciting development is a direct outcome of the energy, passion and money that our community has poured into our work since 2019. Together, we can build power to create change. We look forward to the journey ahead!
Our Mission
To build power together to create the change we need for everyone in our communities to make ends meet, live with dignity, and have a voice in shaping the decisions that impact us.
“This exciting new chapter for our organization is a direct outcome of the amazing volunteers who have poured their energy and creativity into making our communities and Wisconsin a better place for all,” says Executive Director Jenelle Ludwig Krause.
This summer, we’ve heard that folks are struggling with providing food for their families and feel isolated by the tremendous divisions they see in our communities, so we know there’s still more work to be done! No matter how much money we have, where we’re from, how we identify or what abilities we bring, we can do better when we work together towards common goals.”
