Description
Cultivate Abundance is a faith-based organization addressing food insecurity and other livelihood challenges in low income, migrant farmworker communities.
- Cultivate Abundance equips and mobilizes a growing alliance of Southwest Florida gardeners (i.e., home and community gardens) to grow and harvest food for the benefit of the local farmworker population.
- We offer technical assistance to local agencies (i.e., nonprofits, congregations, schools) that extend appropriate social services to migrant workers in Immokalee, Florida, specifically through community gardening efforts as well as providing remote assistance for similar endeavors in more distant locations.
- Cultivate Abundance addresses food insecurity and other livelihood challenges in farmworker source countries in Central America and the Caribbean, and elsewhere, by offering advisory services for agencies serving communities of smallholder farmers and gardeners.
