OT: #EATING gardens in Flint Commercial and tailgating PSU

Submitted by MrSmith on

Hello Everyone,

It's Vincent Smith and I am checking in to give a little update the garden project. A few weeks ago we were part of a video shoot in Flint and #EATING is featured as part of a commercial for Flint Public Health campaign.

For those of you who don't know we started #EATING project and I build gardens with youth so they have good role models and learn about accountability, taking care of their neighborhoods, and how to eat healthy. We started in my hometown in Florida and now we are in Flint.

This last picture is our other Team Gardens member - from Flint and went to the NY Jets and now plays Pro Basketball in Finland.  We have a group of about a dozen or so neighbor kids that we garden with.

You can read more about us at teamgardens.org

you can get our cool #EATING shirts at shopeating.com

and if you want to hang out during tailgating email me at [email protected]

If you emailed me already and heard back I am behind on emails and I am not really a computer person but I am learning to be one.

Thanks everyone and the wolverines are looking great out there. The defense has a lot of hear out there and they just have to stay focused. I am excited about this weekend against Penn State with their low percentage of 3rd down.

Hey Vincent, my organization KaBOOM! (Kaboom.org or @kaboom) just built a playground at Berston Field House last Friday and may do additional work in Flint. Our focus is getting more kids to play in school, at home and in the community and we partner with a lot of companies and community groups. If we do more in Flint it would be great to find a way to combine forces. I'll also keep my eyes open for other potential funders I can send your way. Are you a registered nonprofit?
