       Things Done




                              COMMUNITY GARDEN PILLAR: Committed to
                              establishing a base of community gardens
                              through collaboration and partnerships.

                              In addition to the Soulful Seeds community
                              gardens, with our partners’ we have formed and
                              organized a Community Food Coalition focused
                              on Food Security.

                              We have pulled  together organizations’ that want
                              to provide fresh food to those in need, small and
                              medium farmers’ and agencies that have the
                              ability to maximize the distribution of fresh food.
                              This will eliminate duplication of services and
                              maximize the amount of food provided to the
                              homeless, working poor, families, youth, veterans
                              and seniors.
