For this year’s HEP is raising funds for our Urban Empowerment Garden🥬🍅! The garden provides fresh and organic fruits and veggies to the homeless men, women, children and Veterans on our campus. Funds raised will go directly to purchasing items off of the gardens wishlist such as compost bins and misting fans!

This , we need your help to reach our $2,500 goal to support HEP's Urban Empowerment Garden!

In 2021, HEP's gardeners and volunteers harvested an incredible 2,000 pounds of produce from our Urban Empowerment Garden, saving HEP almost $10,000 worth of fresh, organic fruits and veggies for our clients! This year’s fundraiser will help supply our garden with additional tools and materials, such as compost bins, compost thermometers, and misting fans, to help sustain this bountiful harvest. With this much-needed support, HEP can continue to provide nutrient-dense meals to the homeless men, women, children and Veterans on our campus.

To contribute towards our $2,500 goal for the Urban Empowerment Garden, visit https://www.hepempowers.org/donate-now/ and select “Urban Empowerment Garden” as your designation fund.

The HEP Workforce Development team had a great time today sharing our resources with the Veteran community at Veterans Help Group’s Thanksgiving Turkey Giveway! We were even lucky enough to secure the gravy table (which is always the best part of the Thanksgiving dinner). 🦃

Thank you Veterans Help Group for this amazing opportunity AND for donating the leftover food items to HEP!

Due to the impending HEP’s office and programs will be closed Tuesday 9/27, Wednesday 9/28 and Thursday 9/29 until further notice. For a list of public shelters and evacuation zones visit https://www.pinellascounty.org/emergency/knowyourzone.htm. Please stay safe everyone!
