The Stynchula Foundation pairs greenhouse job training with fresh food for local foodbanks — and we are growing, with a new land project in Grove City, Ohio. Because everyone deserves meaningful work and a full table.
We’re hosting a booth at the Grove City Town Center Mistletoe Market, a German Christkindl-inspired holiday market. Stop by, say hello, and help us raise money for families on the spectrum.
Located in Grove City, Ohio
For parents and caregivers: understand the early signs of the spectrum, learn what to watch for, and discover the resources and support available to help you take the next steps with confidence.
Our greenhouse is a source of joy and community connection. Volunteer your time, visit us to explore, and grow alongside others who share your passion for making a difference. Whether you're here to learn, help out, or simply spend time in a space dedicated to wellness and growth, you're welcome.
Every plant and flower you choose becomes a gift of hope. Partner with us to support Spectrum awareness and create meaningful change in our community. Together, we grow stronger.
Where job training grows. Young adults on the spectrum learn real work skills in a calm, hands-on greenhouse — low social stimulation, close supervision, and honest work that builds confidence. Trainees learn by doing — seeding, planting, tending, and harvesting the produce that feeds our community.
Every donation brings us closer to expanding Trey's Greenhouse and multiplying the impact we've already built. Right now, families are waiting. Our community is hungry for fresh, locally-grown food and the opportunity to learn sustainable gardening alongside our team.
This land project will let us serve three times as many families, create more jobs for people in our community, and grow enough food to address real food insecurity. We've proven the model works. Now we need your help to scale it.
Your contribution—whether $25, $100, or more—directly funds soil preparation, seeds, tools, and training programs. Every dollar plants the seeds for lasting change.
Will you invest in our community's future?
Every kid deserves a team. Host or sponsor a football or cheerleading camp where kids on the spectrum get a place to play, belong, and shine. Local schools, teams, and businesses can host or sponsor a camp in their own community.
Press play for a short film (2:48) on the land in Grove City and the campus it will become — greenhouses, an education center, a farmers market pavilion, even a bee farm. You’ll also hear from Dave Stynchula, our founder, and board members Jenny Hicks, Lanessa Jones, and John Vitale, on why the Foundation has outgrown its space.

Our friends at Blockhouse Apparel created this collection for the Foundation, including the “Every Mind Blooms Differently” tapestry. A portion of every purchase comes back to the Stynchula Foundation and helps fund the Grove City land project — greenhouses, an education center, and a farmers market for families on the spectrum.

Most young adults with intellectual and developmental disorders leave high school without job training — and without a clear path forward. Their talent goes unused. Their families carry more. And a willing worker who could be contributing, earning, and belonging is left on the sidelines. We believe every person on the spectrum deserves a place where their strengths matter.
Our greenhouses are that place. Job training and employment for people on the spectrum — low social stimulation, hands-on training, and close supervision that set young workers up to succeed and thrive. Every harvest also feeds our community, through local foodbanks and farmers markets. And when you give, you help make those paychecks — and those meals — possible.
