Staying Focused – Getting
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.
Soulful Seeds is doing its’ part, through a CARES
Act Grant, provided by the City of Reno, which
allows us to purchase food from local farmers at a
discount rate and provide it to those in need. To
Date we have been able to:

Place residents, St. Paul’s Food Pantry in
Sparks and St. Francis Food Pantry in Reno.
