Homeless Activists Go Organic And Feed An Entire Shelter With Rooftop Garden

Activists in Atlanta are working with the homeless to produce healthy organic food instead of expecting donations.

An organization in Atlanta is calling themselves Task Force For the Homeless and should be highlighted for their message and their tactics to restore dignity and prosperity to those who have fallen on hard times. They have chosen to combine two essential approaches to reverse the conditions which afflict the homeless the most: not having access to healthy food, and not being able to connect with others who are working in structured way to engage in practical solutions.Residents of the homeless shelter are now engaged in community building while providing for themselves food that only costs what their own efforts naturally produce.

Instead of processed foods given through donation, their rooftop garden has 80 beds of the most diverse range of vegetables, fruits and herbs that can be produced on site.

Now, instead of waiting for their next meal, they have taken action to ensure that each and every day they are well fed and well nourished.
