The organization aims to address hunger and promote nutrition education. It will establish a community garden and greenhouse to grow and distribute healthy foods. Volunteers will help with operations and deliveries. The goal is to teach low-income families, especially children, about nutrition and provide them better access to quality foods to improve health outcomes. Plans are outlined for winter production, transportation, volunteers, marketing and following relevant regulations. The hope is to eventually expand this model to other communities facing hunger.

1. The New Tradition is Good Nutrition

2. Mission Statement
Our goal at Sweet 16 is to insure that the food low-income families
receive is of good quality and nutrition. We aim to teach families and
young children about nutritious food and how to grow it. This will
provide them with the opportunity to have better health and lower the
possibility of obesity.

3. Hunger in the United States

● 1 in 7 people are enrolled in supplemental nutrition assistance programs

4. Hunger in Georgia
● 1 in 6 Georgians are food insecure, meaning that they don’t always know
when they will find their next meal.
● 1 in 4 children in Georgia live in food insecure households, this means

need.

10. Our Inspiration
In the small community of Sandersville, GA, there are almost 800
families that go to bed hungry. In this town there is a food bank
that feeds 600 of these families a year, but does not provide
these families with the nutrition they need.

11. Partner - First Love Kids
● First love kids is a non-profit, 501c3 organization in Washington County in
Sandersville, GA that is providing efforts to feed families.
● They are feeding families by a Senior Box each month recognized by the Golden
Harvest.
● They also provide a weekly pantry and a monthly big box give away to families
● In June 2017- 2018 they were able to provide 3,200 shelf stable meals that have
been delivered to 66 senior citizens in Washington County.
● I am excited to see how we can improve community food banks like mine just by
making sure that they are feeding families food with the good nutrients they need.
