We see them but we don't like to think about them. We prefer to look
away or stare straight ahead when they pass by our window holding a
cardboard sign asking for help. The same folks, on the same corner,
almost every single day. People so similar to us, it's scary to admit
it. "We could be them." And yet we are them.
Homestead and Urban Garden Society is an idea founded from the love of teaching people how to grow their own food. We are rooted in the belief that if you give a person food, they will eat once that day, but if you teach a person to grow and cultivate their own food, they will eat well for a lifetime.
This first fundraising campaign is will be used to file the Articles of Incorporation (Non-Profit) in the State of Florida on January 1, 2018.
Our five year plan starts with seeds - saving, storing, and sharing them; encouraging others to do the same and sending saved seeds to us for disbursement. We will be putting together care packages of "seeds, soil, spoons and stories" so that others might benefit from the knowledge that abundance can begin immediately, even without permanent housing. We will distribute seeds and care packages to those we find in need: on street corners, in soup kitchens, and at local food pantries. We will raise money for supplies, education, and property within the city limits of Kissimmee, Florida, to grow and sell our produce at fair prices to the community while employing and providing for people who do not otherwise have access to basic life necessities.
