Become A Donation Partner
We are not a nonprofit organization. But that's okay, because we aren't seeking nonprofit status. We are simply a small business that gets its income from donations.
Currently, we are NOT fully funded. This means that we have to supplement our income through other means. While we do have monthly donation partners, we don't have enough to be fully funded.
So that we could ONLY focus on this mission and make it better, we need donation partners.

A donation partner is someone who commits to donating funds to our mission every month. Now, understand that our needs are LOW. We aren't asking for millions of dollars (or anywhere NEAR it). We're just a husband-and-wife team. We don't rent out any space. We don't have a team of employees. So any small amount that's contributed goes a mighty long way. Since our needs are low, hopefully this would encourage everybody of ALL income levels to donate. Nobody has to feel that his or her donations are small and insignificant.
Our ideal aim is to have 75 partners commit at least $25 a month. While this won't fully fund this mission, we can easily supplement any lack through weekly donations we get from different individuals. To be absolutely, fully funded without worrying about engaging in other paying gigs, we need $3,000 a month. Many nonprofit organizations need many, many, MANY times more than that -- and they could get funding from big businesses.
If you cannot donate $25 a month, that is absolutely OKAY! Even if all you could donate is $5 a month, that helps. We much rather have a lot of individuals donate a small amount than to have a few individuals donate huge amounts. Why? For one, it shows that we are truly supported by the community, and not by a select few. And two, we don't want to depend on only a handful of individuals. We are a mission for the community, supported by the community.

Think about what we offer. FREE fitness classes, FREE online videos, and FREE fruits and vegetables. How much would all of this cost you if you were to pay for these things? How much would a bag of fruits and vegetables cost you at a store? How much would a gym membership cost you? Don't get us wrong, we're not against supermarkets and gyms. We need them! But we know that when money is tight, you have to make some cut backs. That's why we're here!
But it's very tempting to think, "Wow, I get all of this stuff for FREE? Whoo-hoo!" Yes, we want you to rejoice! Feel relief that you have the opportunity to be healthy without paying for it. But also keep in mind that while you don't have to pay for these services, it's not free for US to run it. So instead of thinking of how much you could get for free, think about what you could do to help us keep this mission going so that those who truly can't afford anything could be blessed.
If you could donate anything each month, no matter how small, please consider doing so. In this way, you'll be a part of a team who's helping us to keep going and to bless those who cannot afford to give anything.

Remember that EVERYBODY benefits from our services. We are open to ALL individuals regardless of financial status. We don't ask for proof of income. We don't ask for Medicaid information. We don't accept "referrals." We have SO MUCH produce that everybody could benefit, and despite having a lot of people take away lots of food with them, we still have plenty of leftovers. Trying to only serve one demographic is impractical.
We don't judge your financial status. That's only your business, not ours. While we want to help those in need, we would be letting a lot of food go to waste if we only focus on those in need. Folks, there's PLENTY to go around. NOBODY will be taking from anybody (except if you took the last three available mangoes -- but, you know, that stuff happens).
When you donate on a monthly basis, don't feel that other people will benefit and not you. No, YOU will benefit very much. When you donate, you're really making an "investment," because you will get a return. No, you probably can't get a tax write-off, but if you could bring home bags and bags of produce without paying a fortune for it, then your donation is an INVESTMENT. Not only are you investing in this mission, you are investing in your HEALTH.
You are not simply giving us money. You will benefit from our services. Your monthly contribution is a monthly investment in this mission and in your health. As long as we continue this mission, you could continue getting healthy.

Ready to become a partner? Here's what you could do:
1. Click on the PayPal icon below and sign up for monthly autodraft.
2. Write a check to us every month (just understand that if you choose this option, we'll send you an email every month kindly reminding you to donate).
Our minimal goal: to have 75 people donate $25 a month. Remember that you're not simply donating. You're INVESTING.
To be fully funded: we need $3,000 a month, which includes the cost of gas, vehicle maintenance, and emergency funds in case we need to purchase produce. We get all our produce for free, but there may be times when we might have to purchase produce if we can't get enough to give to everybody.
We're not stopping at $3,000. The more we get, the more we could do.
Please keep in mind that the most important thing for us is to have monthly donation partners. In this way, we aren't depending on a select few individuals who have money. Two, we truly want to be a business that is supported by the COMMUNITY, not by a few wealthy folks. In this way, everybody could have a hand in our success. So, every donation counts, no matter how small it is.
Again, if you cannot donate $25 a month, then ANY amount is okay. Really, it is! We notice the $5 that so-and-so donated as much as we notice the $200 that the other so-and-so donated. Do not feel that your donations are small and insignificant. Every penny is accounted for.
