What makes our work possible

0 comments

I have been asked over and over again ” how do you find the food” It is unbelievable easy. Donation, Donations, Donations. In just two phone calls last year we received almost 10,000 lbs of Cherries. Without even asking I have recently been promised bees for 1000 boxes. the catch is I need to build the boxes. so I am currently looking for the lumber and labor to help us accomplish this task. After researching this gift we have found out this gift is worth $50,000. and the ability to earn $150,000 yearly in pollination fees and honey. Obviously this would go far in help us be more self sufficient not to mention how many people that could be blessed by having fresh honey in their pantries. I do need all your eyes and ears to help in finding the fruit trees that are neglected as well as orchards and fields that can be gleaned.

I am currently working on two grants that would help us find and be able to process a huge amount of food. Even though we are applying for these grants we still need private help with all kinds of donations. As well as fresh fruit and vegetables we need canning supplies, gardening tools, ladders and labor. We also need financial assistance from private sources. Personally my family invested $8,000 last year and hundreds of man hours. We are just as committed to make this this year a success but we need your help more than ever to meet our goal of collecting 500,000 lbs of food this year. We are a 501 (c) 3 corporation so all donations are tax deductible so  please help.
