Donate Produce to Crisis Pregnancy Centers in Wis

Campaign Created by: The Athanatos Foundation

The funds from this campaign will be received by ATHANATOS FOUNDATION.

Goal: USD $5,000
Raised: USD $ 1,668

Dynamite Harvest, in association with The Athanatos Foundation, will be donating fresh produce to crisis pregnancy centers and other organizations where people are in desperate need for fresh produce... but can't afford it.

Along with providing healthy, naturally grown food, educational videos will be produced that help people actually cook the stuff. All of us are probably a little too used to foods prepared for us in factories, so these videos, produced with the expert help of Dynamite Harvest's farm manager, won't just help young parents, but the rest of us, too.

We are happy to report that we already have an arrangement with one center, Abiding Care, located in Medford WI. Several other centers have expressed interest. You donation to this campaign will help ensure that we can serve any center, and any vulnerable family, that desires our fresh produce.

The other centers that are hoping to participate in our program are First Choice Pregnancy Resource Center located in Stevens Point, WI and Apple Pregnancy Care Center in Eau Claire, WI.

Between the three centers, there are 25 vulnerable women and their families interested in receiving regular donations of fresh produce! That is a LOT of produce. We really need your help!

Note: Dynamite Harvest will, if circumstances allow it, trek to the crisis pregnancy centers themselves and give an 'in person' seminar on how to cook and prepare our produce. All three centers are interested in this service.

See this video as an example of the sort of educational videos that will be produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5jwpqK5kS4 Giving away produce to vulnerable families is a noble cause and we hope that you will join us, so we can feed as many as we possibly can. The Athanatos Foundation is a tax exempt 501c3 organization. Your donations are tax exempt, if you choose to go that route.

MORE ABOUT OUR GOALS:

Our preliminary goal is to raise $5,000.

This would allow us to donate about $100 worth of produce per month to a family, for 4-5 months (June-October), to about 10-15 families.

Additionally, it will finance the production of 3-5 educational videos on how to prepare and eat fresh produce.

After we meet our goal, we will consider whether or not it is viable to feed another 10-15 families, and update this page accordingly.

UPDATES

Update #3 -- Spring 2023

Thanks for your generous donations! We've received enough here and offline to commit to a second pregnancy center. However, it is not yet enough to extend it to a third. We still have 3-4 weeks before the produce really starts to roll in, so there is time to raise the amount we need. $1,500 more brings us close enough that we will work with the third one on a more limited basis than the other two; $2,500 will make it a lock. Please spread the word and share. We are so close! Thanks again!

Update #2

With it now confirmed that 25 or more women and their families will desire produce through 3 separate crisis pregnancy centers, we've released a new video as a call to action.

The old video still has useful info.  Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OJMHKlP9Xk

We served 1 crisis pregnancy center in 2022... in 2023, though...

We are pleased to announce that in 2022 we served the Abiding Care center and will do so in 2023, as well.  We are informed that 2 other centers in the region are VERY interested in participating in our program in 2023.  Very exciting for us.
