Reclaim Summer 2025: Day of Service & Kick-Off Party & Fundraiser

Join us on June 1st for a Day of Service and Party to help us kick-off our campaign to “Reclaim Summer” and grow our Children’s Community Garden in Oakley!

Our world gives us more than enough reasons to feel anxious, hurried, and disconnected. That’s why we’re reclaiming something sacred this summer: peace.

Peace for our kids—and for ourselves. Imagine the peace of long summer days spent outside.

The peace of being surrounded by trusted adults who truly care.

The peace of being loved, completely, just as you are.

At Imagine Cincinnati, we’re building a community where peace, connection, and belonging are not just dreams—they're daily realities.

With your support, we're creating rhythms and rituals that help families slow down, soak up the sun, and support one another in the joys and challenges of raising the next generation. A generation that knows the land, knows themselves, and knows they are deeply loved.

When you give to Reclaim Summer 2025 campaign, you're not just donating—you’re taking a stand for community. For care. For childhood. For parents and caregivers who deserve peace, too.

🌱 Give $25 -$50 or more and join us for our Summer Kick-Off Party & Fundraiser on June 1st, 4–6pm—a joyful celebration of everything we’re growing together with games, play and a community meal.

🌻 Want to get your hands in the soil? Come early on June 1st at 3pm to help in our Children’s Community Garden, or sign up to volunteer with us throughout June - a low-key way to serve with your family.

Thanks to your support—and support from our partners and sponsors - we're cultivating a summer of growth, joy and community service.

Last year, in collaboration with our friends at Cincinnati Mennonite Fellowship (CMF), we started developing a “Children’s Community Garden.” Thanks to CMF and our partners, we turned an old garage into a nature play space, with toys, books, coffee, a tree to climb, berry bushes to pick, and a garden that grew lots of veggies.

This year, thanks to a small grant from ServeOhio we are kicking off the next phase of our Children’s Community Garden dreams, which include:

-an expanded veggie garden we hope will produce enough to support families in need through CMF’s twice monthly meals and pantry

-sensory-friendly plants designed to engage young children

-pollinator garden patch to help save our native pollinators

-nature-inspired outdoor play space and garden programming to engage 0-8 year olds and their caregivers

-green bean lean-to for growing and play

-magical secret fairy garden …and more!

Please help us make our dreams a reality. You can make a donation, sign up to serve, come join us on June 1st, and invite your friends! It all helps!

Together, let’s reclaim summer. Let’s reclaim community. Let’s plant something good that will last.
