Seeds for Success.

Purpose: 
This program not only feeds hungry people, but increases their self-sufficiency, self-worth, and self-esteem!

After receiving a thank you note from an Appalachian group that Grandma’s Gifts works with, Founder Emily Douglas became aware that the needs in the region were beyond even the things she had seen. The group in Eastern Kentucky wrote,

“We have had major layoffs at the Coal Mines here and we have added close to 500 families just in the last few months.  We now service over 1500 families. We had our "Community Day" early in April.  At Community Day we hand out vegetable/herb seeds to families to grow their own food.  We served over a 1000 families.  Unfortunately, we ran out of seed packets.  We do plant a huge Community Garden so we will be able to give out fresh produce later in the summer on our food pantry day's. We also have a Poultry Program where we hand out chickens so that families can raise them for eggs and meat… ”

After many discussions internally volunteers decided to start a new program to provide vegetable and herb seeds to families in Appalachia. One solution to hunger is handing people canned food, another is assisting them to produce some of the food they consume.
