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.

Pillar 1 Soulful Seeds is doing its’ part, through a
CARES Act Grant, provided by the City of
Reno, which allowed 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:

• Provide over 13,000 thousand pounds
fresh dairy, plus meat and vegetables
to the “Our Place” residents, St. Paul’s
Food Pantry in Sparks and St. Francis
Food Pantry in Reno.
