Living Wright’s mission is to combat food insecurity in The Midlands by advocating for, educating, and providing fresh produce to our community through regenerative farming and gardening techniques. We envision a vibrantly diverse food ecosystem nestled in the Congaree River Basin where visitors can examine their relationship to the land and cultivate healthier food systems. Our dual approach of community engagement and educational resources will allow us to have a direct, measurable impact on food insecure populations as well as expand our sustainable footprint through partnerships and public workshops. Urban agriculture allows for the development of a variety of environmental, economic, and social benefits to surrounding communities: reducing transportation costs, curbing runoff associated with heavy rainfall, attracting pollinators, and improving air quality.

The Living Wright Foundation is a 501(c) 3 charitable organization founded by Dupre Percival and Robert Percival, owners of Dupre Catering and Events. The foundation is named in honor of Robert’s great grandfather, the late Reverend Dr. Robert Wright Spears.
