Who we are
We are a Florida 501(c)(3) ministry building practical help for families: a community thrift store where nothing is priced over $5, chemical-free farming and food assistance, and a year-round storm-relief hub. Our first store is OPEN at 1581 Hwy 98 W (rear building) in Carrabelle, Florida, 7 AM to 7 PM every day. We're still stocking the shelves, but come on in, and bring your donations: we price fairly, and the money this store makes buys farmland to grow clean, chemical-free food and bring food prices down for everyone. It is also our collection point and relief base. From there we plan to grow across the Big Bend and beyond, one community at a time.
The bigger picture
Our long-term goal is a network of chemical-free farms, food-processing kitchens, $5 community stores and a truck fleet, with a storm-relief hub in every community we serve, growing toward 40 million acres of American farmland that feed anyone who needs clean food. Organizations that feed workforces, students or communities: talk with us about partnering.
