The foundation of Eli is built on hearts of service, from the board to the staff and its volunteers. Through the years, our focus has never wavered in sheltering abused children and working to prevent family violence. The journey has never been easy, but it has been joyful. Our board of directors, staff and volunteers have willing hearts, busy hands, and faith that rings louder than our fears.
Seeds to Plate is committed to Connecting students to nature through outdoor education and encouraging healthy choices in food, life habits, and environmental conservation.
Our program uses the natural world to give students a hands-on, immersive, innovative learning experience that fosters community and a deeper understanding of their academic subjects.

Collaborating with teachers to engage their classes on a weekly basis with these garden-based lessons
Providing students the opportunity to learn how to grow and prepare food from the garden during recess, lunch, and after school.
Encouraging students to understand their role in the ecosystem through composting, recycling, and upcycling resources, alongside growing, harvesting, and preparing produce.
Engaging families in maintaining the garden and learning to prepare garden vegetables in monthly garden workdays.
