Before we know it, fall will be here. *Then Thanksgiving. *Then the holidays. And at Seeds of Hope, we are already looking forward to another season filled with community, connection, generosity and opportunities to make a difference for local families…
One of our favorite things to see each week is how quickly our Thursday afternoon and evening volunteer spots fill up. To every high school student, parent, grandparent, neighbor, and friend who signs up week after week… thank you. Your generosity makes our Thursday food distributions possible, and we couldn’t do it without you. But here’s a little behind-the-scenes secret… Our Thursday distributions are really an all-day event….
Life feels…normal again. For many of us, “normal” means making a grocery list, heading back to work, planning the week ahead, and wondering how quickly summer seems to be flying by.
It’s the middle of summer in Florida. – It’s hot. – Vacations have come and gone-or maybe they’re still ahead. – Parents are balancing work schedules, camps, family trips, and trying to keep kids entertained during these long summer days….
But what if this summer your child became the CEO of something important? – What if they became the CEO of Kindness? – At Seeds of Hope, we’ve always believed that young people can change communities. In fact, our organization was founded on the idea that students can make a real difference through service….
Looking for a meaningful activity for your kids this summer? Here’s a challenge that teaches budgeting, smart shopping, healthy choices, generosity, and compassion – all while helping local families in need.
The next time you’re heading to Walmart, Aldi, Publix, Target, Dollar Tree, or your favorite grocery store, hand your child a budget and a mission…
Summer has a way of changing our routines. The alarm clocks aren’t quite as important. The school lunches take a break. The kids sleep in, spend time with friends, splash in pools, go on adventures, and occasionally wander through the house asking, “What are we doing today?” For many families, summer means more time together. More family dinners. More cookouts. More opportunities to gather around a table and enjoy the people we love….
Summer is here, and we’re inviting families to take part in something fun, educational, and impactful! Introducing the Seeds of Hope $5 Summer Challenge! The challenge is simple: The next time you’re at the grocery store, give your child or grandchild just $5 and let them become a “Community Hero Shopper.” Their mission? Find the best food donations they can purchase with their $5 budget…
Summer break is almost here… and while sleeping in, vacations, and pool days are always fun, this summer could also become an opportunity to make a REAL difference right here in our community. At Seeds of Hope, we believe kindness can start at ANY age. Whether your child needs volunteer hours, wants something meaningful to do this summer, loves helping others, or simply wants to spend time doing something positive and rewarding – there are so many ways to get involved!…
A huge THANK YOU to the amazing students, families, and staff at Stowers Elementary School for donating 300 boxes of cereal to help stock the shelves at Seeds of Hope! That incredible donation will help support families who rely on our weekly food distributions – and it reminded us how powerful community giving can be when people come together for a simple goal…
Since 2009, Seeds of Hope has been serving our community with one simple mission: To provide food assistance to people in need and meaningful community service for our students. What began as a small idea has grown into something truly special here in Lithia and the FishHawk area…
