DIRECT CONNECT GROUPS

With 1000's of local members in our pilot Spark in the Dark facebook group, individuals are able to reach out directly to their neighbors and ask for help in times of need.
That help comes in many forms such as: physical items, advice, resources, and in many cases just a simple act of kindness or word of encouragment.
In addition, community members who have extra are able to donate items directly to one another free of charge to someone who could not afford the item otherwise. 

The main goal of this group is to empower each other to reach out and directly, effectively, and inexpensively help one another in times of need. ​

Sprout Project

The Sprout project mission is simple: get healthy and local food into the hands that need it mostthrough individual and small community gardens dispersed in rural areas. 

COLLECT

Get down in the dirt with  community members in your area and begin harvesting your own fresh produce while learning a thing or two about how to garden, while provide fresh food to your family and neighbors in need. 

​

COLLABORATE

After picking crops, you will come together with other communities who have harvested from their gardens to swap goods and spread the wealth with one another.

CONNECT

Join the "Sprout - A Spark in the Dark project" online group and talk with fellow harvesters in the program to share tips, tricks, and new recipes with produce you have collected.
