Peaceful Belly Food Project
Here at Peaceful Belly we believe strongly in giving back to our community. We do this in many ways; teaching classes, sitting on committees and boards about promoting and growing local agriculture and community gardens, giving children and adults tours on the farm, and donating food into the hunger community. This year we are entering into many wonderful relationships with organizations that are so important in our community.
Peaceful Belly is starting a Glean for the Idaho Food Bank in June. On Tuesdays we will have a group of volunteers picking food and loading it up just for the food bank. If you would like to help out with that please email us at info@peacefulbelly.com. We are expecting to deliver thousands of pounds of fresh food to the food bank this summer.
We will also be partnering with the Boys and Girls Club this summer. The Boys and Girls Club provide daily lunches in the parks around Boise to adults and children in need. We will be donating veggies to help supplement their lunches with fresh healthy food on their limited budget. If you would like to volunteer once a week to drop off food for us please drop us an email at info@peacefulbelly.com. Also, Peaceful Belly will be donating all of the plants and seeds to the new Children’s garden that the Boys and Girls Club that will be breaking ground on this year.
We will continue to support the Abundance Project which brings fresh food to the refugee community. The Abundance project picks up the surplus food from farmers markets and home gardens and distributes it into the refugee community. Watch a little video about their work. If you would like to give them a hand click here.
We will also continue our support of the wonderful Boise Urban Garden School or BUGS. Peaceful Belly will donate seeds and plants to help them grow a thriving garden of education for future generations. You can also volunteer at BUGS by clicking here.
Peaceful Belly is not a non-profit and does not receive grant funding for these projects. We would love to expand these programs. If you are a grant writer and would like to see Peaceful Belly become financially able to grow these programs with help from grants, please email us at info@peacefulbelly.com. Also, it was with help from a very gracious donor last year that we are able to expand these programs this year. If you would like to donate to our Food Projects please drop us a line.
