About

This Years Fundraiser Focus: Development of a new local Farm to School program targeted to disadvantaged community  members youth, teens and young adults. Emphasize historic diversity and health disparities and provide education to influence healthy educated decisions that create a more equitable and accessible future food system amongst new generations.  This Program will help us inspire our children to accept various cultures while also understanding different life backgrounds as we increase life expectancies that earn participants more life control, freedom and personal independence through agriculture training. We expect that students will encourage parents to change the home lifestyle choices regarding food, mental health and family connections. 

We seek to also  fund and benefit local farm and business projects that align with our mission and vision  such as Soul Fresh Farms,  Multicultural Business Association, Food Harvest, Burrell and Drew Lewis Foundation  to assist disadvantaged local families affected by poverty, oppression and  or lack of nutrition and resources. Funds will be distributed based on organizational needs and as desired and available.
