Seeds and Trees
Growing your own food, now and for the future
Teach… Give… Plant… Grow… Prepare… Eat!
For $5, you can donate a batch of vegetable seeds or a fruit tree. Vegetable seeds provide immediate relief, as radishes grow in about four weeks. Fruit trees take about three years to produce fruit, but the gift becomes generational, as they will bear fruit for years to come.
Want to have more impact?
We usually work with entire schools or entire communities at once. Therefore, instead of giving for one student or family at a time, please consider sponsoring neighborhoods or classrooms, covering the needs for 20 or more at a time.
- $100 provides seeds for 20 families
- $500 buys fruit trees for 20 families
- $1000 buys radish seeds for all students at the largest school we support!

The “right” opportunity arose when I learned about a travel opportunity for adoptive families which would include volunteer work and cultural sightseeing. Being members of that team had a profound impact on me, Lillian and Andrew. Not only were we able to make a real connection to our son’s birthplace, but we met incredibly warm and generous people, all of whom we now consider to be a part of our “family.” In addition to the volunteer work I shared with the Team, I also was able to “give back” by performing as my alter ego, “Farfel the Clown” at a barbecue for children of The Backyard School. It will remain one the proudest and happiest memories of my life.
