Sewa Harvesting Hope: Empowering Communities through Sustainable Gardening and Nutrition! Kiddie Keep Well Camp was established in 1924 to provide "fresh air" experiences to underprivileged children with tuberculosis in Middlesex County. Since its inception, the camp's objective has been to promote physical health, social interaction, self-esteem, mental well-being, and fundamental life skills through a holistic approach. In addition to its primary objectives, the camp offers activities that bridge generational divides, bringing together both elderly and young campers seeking to establish social bonds among seniors while also encouraging physical exercise through entertaining and health-related activities. Kiddie Keep Well Camp has provided impoverished children and older citizens in Middlesex County, NJ, with a safe and health-oriented camping experience for many years. The Sewa event at Kiddie Keep Well Camp focuses on solving food insecurity through community involvement and sustainable approaches, which are critical for building resilience and forging unity. This transformative event has the potential to greatly improve the lives of marginalized people while also creating a healthier, more equitable food system via the integration of sustainable gardening practices with concepts of service and communal engagement.
