Young Philanthropists

Cheers to Motherland Gardens Community Project on receiving the 19th annual grant award from Young Philanthropists!

Giving circle members gathered at Bloom Wine Bar & Florals in Springfield on December 5, 2024 to celebrate another fun year of friendship and philanthropy. Thank you for growing the Future Fund with your annual membership contributions and for supporting programs that are helping children in our community!

This year's grant funding will help expand "From Seeds to Table" to a year-round program, helping to empower Springfield's underserved youth with continuous education in gardening, cooking, and entrepreneurship.
