Last fall, the High Point Neighborhood Family Center of Clearwater was fortunate enough to be awarded a grant from Allegany Ministries to establish an Organic Community Garden on the Gateway Organic Farm. The farm is Pinellas County's last standing farm and the state of Florida's first certified organic community garden, according to High Point program director Caroline Brown. They established a group called Seeds2Soup, and after they grew and harvested their vegetables, the grant paid for Caroline and her members (all from low-income households) to take an eight-week cooking class at PTEC. The group will be making lots of soups, so Caroline is looking for heavy-duty soup pots and Crock-Pots so members can practice their cooking lessons at home. If you have any to donate, please call Caroline at (727) 533-0730, ext. 213, or deliver them to the High Point Neighborhood Family Center, 5812 150th Ave. N, Clearwater. If you would like to join Seeds2Soup, you must have minor children living in your household. They have already started their second growing season, and can be found on Facebook under Caroline Brown/Seeds2Soup.
