OUR INITIATIVES
HUNGER - We address hunger through
The WePack program, which sends nutritious weekend food home with students,
Neighborhood pop-ups bring hot meals and connection to where families live,
Seed-to-Plate education and gardens that teach children to grow, cook, and share fresh produce,
Through our Farm-to-Table Sustainable Food Collaborative, where we convene and connect small far
mers with community partners; provide training, marketing support, and host farmer spotlights/pop-ups
YOUTH - RBP Christian Academy and Childcare Center(RBPCACC) anchors our youth work. RBPCACC is a 5-STAR center accepting NC state vouchers and providing reliable, high-quality, early learning for parents, while helping children build school readiness in a safe, stable environment. We also invest in mentoring, safe-space enrichment, life skills, and kid-led cooking labs tied to our gardens. Youth learn teamwork, leadership, and healthy habits through hands-on projects and events. SMALL BUSINESS - We support adults through an entrepreneurship track focused on food-related business owners, coaching on permits and compliance, ServSafe and food safety, menu costing, branding, and pop-up/market readiness, turning skills into steady income.
