Give

What's even better than giving people food? Teaching them to feed themselves, of course. That's our mission, and we're better qualified than anyone in the world of whom we are aware to do just that.

Are you interested in doing something to make a difference for good in the world? Every religion challenges those of us with more than we need to use our excess for doing good and helping others.

And it doesn't take a lot of money to create something worthwhile, if we work together. Let me illustrate:

We're being asked at the moment to create gardening training projects in Africa, Turkey, and Madagascar (and others are lining up for assistance as well).

It will require about $15,000 to create and conduct a training garden project, with a seedling greenhouse, tools, equipment, materials, seeds, and instructional materials for a dozen students - plus food for the students until the garden provides, and a translator. That will also provide a teacher for 3 months, and numerous other directly associated incidentals. If you would like a detailed breakdown of project costs, please contact us.

Would you like to be a part of something like that? Any amount you can give will be helpful. And you can share immediately in the benefits, for example:

Friend

For a $35 donation, you provide books for one student. And we will give you the electronic version of The Mittleider Gardening Course, which in hard copy sells at Amazon.com for $24!!

Member

A $50 gift will provide good quality garden tools for one student, and you may add the electronic 6 Steps to Successful Gardening, which sells for $11 in hard copy.

Contributor

With a $75 gift you can provide seeds to grow a ¼ acre garden. Using the Mittleider Method, a student can expect a yield of $5000 to $6,000 in a single 6 month growing season from a garden this size. And in most places we're going, these people struggle all year for $300 to $400!! The 9 Mitleider Manuals ($20 value) will be added to the above electronic books for your personal gardening education.

Sponsor

With only a $100 you can guarantee a great yield of healthy vegetables by providing a supply of natural mineral nutrients for a student's garden. And we will, upon your request, send you the Garden Master CD - a gardening tool that required 3 years and $100,000 to create, and which has the foregoing books and manuals included.

Patron

A $250 gift will allow us to make a microenterprise loan to a student, allowing him or her to go into business. This small amount of money, along with the knowledge and training we will provide, are the only things millions of people in the developing countries need to break the terrible cycle of poverty and ignorance which hold them in chains of misery. Your immediate reward will be The Garden Doctor, which can make you an expert in diagnosing plant growing problems. After donating, to receive The Garden Doctor books just email your request with name and address to jim@growfood.com.

Benefactor

For $500 you can provide classroom materials for an entire project! Imagine the feeling of knowing you have impacted the lives of 40-60 people (students and their families) forever. And we will be pleased to give you the Garden Master and Gardening Library CD's as our way of saying thank you. Email your request to jim@growfood.com with name and address.

Angel

Some of you may be able to help as much as $1,000. A gift of this size could allow a project to grow from 1 acre to 3 acres, by providing a 7 horsepower tiller! The difficult and time-consuming work of preparing the ground with shovels really limits the size garden a group of students can grow. Consider yourself an angel of mercy and goodness, and take the Garden Master and Gardening Library also.

For assistance beyond the $1,000 level, which is sorely needed if we are to reach and help large numbers of people, please call us at 1-888-548-4449, and we will be thrilled to have your association in this great work.
