Midlands Gives Garden Drop-In
It's that time of year again!
Midlands Gives is a 24-hour online giving event that brings the region together as one community, raising money and awareness for local nonprofits in 11 Midlands counties. During Midlands Gives, contributions of just $20 or more are amplified through sponsored prize incentives.
In 2017 Seeds' amazing donors gave over $3400 in just 24 hours AND we won an additional $1000 in prize money from SCE&G! This year our goal is to raise $10,500 to fund Seeds Summer 2018. Last year we served 15 youth at no cost. The interest in our camp has grown VASTLY and we don't want to turn anyone away. $70 per week will ensure that 30 underserved Midlands youth attend a 5-week life changing, fun-filled, transformative camp that they'll never forget.
Join us in Skylar's Garden at the Seeds House where we'll give tours, share more volunteer information, and before you go be sure to stop by our on-site giving station where you can make YOUR contribution to our efforts to interrupt the school-to-prison-pipeline.
