WHO WE ARE

About Us

Affectionately known as DUG, Delaware Urban Greens is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization strengthening communities across Delaware through sustainable food systems and whole-person wellness.


We exist to build community stability and long-term capacity for families and individuals impacted by social determinants of health. By increasing access to fresh, nourishing food and creating space for restorative wellness experiences, DUG advances practical, measurable solutions that support healthier educators, stronger households, and more resilient neighborhoods.


Our work is community-centered, data-informed, and anchored in dignity, choice, and access.

Our Mission

Delaware Urban Greens (DUG) reshapes food access and wellness in Delaware by connecting communities to fresh, nourishing food and restorative wellness experiences.


Through community refrigerators, growing and learning programs, and on-site educator wellness initiatives in public schools, DUG addresses barriers to health while strengthening stability at the household and school level. We partner intentionally, implement strategically, and measure impact — ensuring that the communities we serve are not only supported, but empowered to thrive.

Our Why

My father, Frederick N. Wilson, affectionately known as Pops was very instrumental in my life and the life of my siblings. He exemplified the meaning of community; always over-reaching to ensure everyone’s basic needs were met.  Pops championed workforce readiness for individuals in underserved communities.  He also led the charge of installing urban gardens and playgrounds throughout his neighborhood in Harlem, NY. Combining his passions, Pops was able to ensure countless individuals had basic skills to enter the workforce while gaining an introductory understanding of agriculture and food sustainability.


The idea of community and service has always been meaningful to my family – the ability to share time, exchange positive energy, space, and resources are gifts that keep on giving. My father passed away from Covid-19 on April 4, 2020. To honor him, and his work, I founded Delaware Urban Greens, a 501 (c) 3 organization in November 2021. I have tremendous shoes to fill but I could not be more thrilled to carry Pops' legacy forward.
