The Homeless Garden Project provides job training, transitional employment and support services to people who are homeless. HGP's vibrant education and volunteer program for the broad community blends formal, experiential and service-learning. The programs take place in our 3-acre organic farm and related enterprises.
We value:
The capacity of every individual for growth and renewal.The joy that comes from growing and sharing healthy food.
The well-being created by vibrant social and natural ecosystems.
Trainees in the program:
Take advantage of transitional employment in the safety of a structured environmentLearn basic life skills required for employment
Learn a variety of other marketable skills
Share four hot meals a week with staff, other trainees and volunteers
Give to the community by growing food for other programs that serve homeless and needy populations
Grow organic fruit, vegetables and flowers for the SC community through the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program
Educate students and other groups who use the garden
Create value-added products from farm grown materials which are sold at the Women's Organic Flower Enterprise Store
The minimum donation for Homeless Garden Project is $10. I won't be blogging on December 11.
