Project EDEN: A Garden Initiative that Shares Hope with the Hopeless

In this episode of “Shine Brightly!”, GiveSendGo Co-founder Jacob Wells speaks with Pastor Cheryl M. Gaines about Project EDEN. EDEN which stands for "Project Everyone Deserves to Eat Naturally™," is a sanctuary aiming to save lives and empower marginalized youth. Pastor Gaines discusses EDEN's journey since 2012, emphasizing the initiative's focus on substituting guns with garden tools for inner-city youth, particularly black males. Beyond practical skills in gardening and nutrition, EDEN strives to foster spiritual and moral development. EDEN recently expanded to be "EDEN the Farm," an acre of donated land in North Louisiana, serving as a safe space for participants to live, eat, and grow, while also incorporating mentorship, life skills training, and cognitive behavioral re-ordering.

Agents Raided Amos Miller’s Amish Farm

In this episode, Jacob Wells speaks with Chris Hume, Managing Editor of The Lancaster Patriot, about the raid on Amos Miller's Amish farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. On January 4, 2024, state agents raided Amos' property, seized products, and banned the sale of many of his remaining products, putting his business at risk. “As Amos fights this injustice, he needs to keep paying his employees and supporting the small farms that rely on Amos to sell their natural products.” To support Amos Miller in his legal battles, visit www.GiveSendGo.com/SupportAmosMiller, for updates on his story, head to https://www.thelancasterpatriot.com/helpamos/, and to explore his business, visit https://amosmillerorganicfarm.com/?v=1d20b5ff1ee9.
