SHINING LIGHT GARDEN FOUNDATION, INC.
VERO BEACH, FLORIDA

Shining Light Garden Foundation, Inc., started by Joel Bray in 2008 as a simple backyard project in Winter Beach, Florida, has blossomed into an established 10-acre farm driven by a mission to tackle hunger and nourish their community. The organization stands by the guiding mantra 'Feeding the hungry, one garden at a time.' As a recognized nonprofit under section 501(c)3, it concentrates on growing fresh vegetables specially for homeless, hungry, or marginalized folks. Every year, they bring healthy produce from local farm lots to over 200 families within Indian River County. Their dedication to community service is rooted in faith, with a commitment to serve God’s glory through their actions. This means directing resources towards vital agricultural needs like seeds and farming tools, as well as enhancing infrastructure by investing in things like wells and irrigation systems. Since June 2010, when the Foundation took its official steps, they’ve been steadfastly focusing on broadening both who they help and how much impact they have. Based at 6865 33rd Avenue, Vero Beach, Florida, Shining Light Garden Foundation has a leadership team that includes Joel E Bray as President, Greg Vafiades as Vice President, and Connie T. Derman as Secretary. They keep everything above board by updating their official filings regularly – you can find them under company file number N10000005644. Their initiative welcomes community support to keep moving forward with their vision of providing wholesome food and upliftment for those in need.
