Your Round Up Dollars at Work!

Check out Earstin Whitten of Soulful Seeds driving around in their refrigerated van!  Soulful Seeds started with this man's vision, a sharecropper as a child who grew up poor with fourteen siblings in Arkansas. It is Earstin's goal to provide and teach others, with very little resources, how to grow gardens that can provide healthy food for themselves, their families, and others. Saint Mary's, a local healthcare system, offered this man a small lot and he has been providing healthy food for the needy through food pantries, kitchens, and partnerships. 
Soulful Seeds Vision:  We are dedicated to providing fresh, sustainable healthy food  to the homeless, working poor, disabled, veterans, seniors and families in need. Our Vision is simple, "It Takes A Village", a village that includes business, government, foundations, healthcare, non-profits, farmers and individuals, coming together to maximize fresh food production and distribution to those in need.
