Many people concerned about their food security are starting gardens. Order a set of 10 mixed veg seed packets from us at Seed Programs International, and help us help families and communities access seed who can't otherwise. seedprograms.org/work-…/become-a-global-gardener

#Nonprofits ask #restaurants to give and give when we want delicious support for our fundraising. Today, I'm buying gift certificates from several restaurants who have been generous to us here @SeedPrograms. We're wishing you the support and strength you need in coming weeks.

In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems. Each one of us has a responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes are not sufficient; we must become actively engaged.
