About
Kristy and Don Milholin's children attend Morehead Elementary School, where they noticed several children who were food insecure. Kristy and Don felt called to help make a difference in these children's lives, and so in August 2009, they started the Out of the Garden Project in their home around the kitchen table.
What began in 2009 helping 10 families with a small bag of food has now grown to the largest organization of its kind in the Piedmont Triad.
Food and Hope for Every Child.
Feed a child and change a life.
We are a food assistance program for families primarily in Guilford County. We desire to partner with parents, teachers, friends, and organizations to provide food and hope for every child! We supply a bag of food through Operation Backpack for a family of four (6-7 lbs) each Friday at schools throughout Guilford County, one school in Forsyth County, and one school in Alamance County. We reach more than 2,000 families each week.
Our 18 monthly Fresh Mobile Markets offer 65+ pounds of food per family and reach more than 1250 families each month in Greensboro and High Point.
