Giving Away Free Food to Feed Thousands of Families, AKA A Regular Day in the Garden of Eden
This world is super harsh, which is why we take it upon ourselves to create the most epic reality we have ever seen.
And we're super successful at it!
One of the regular "problems" at the Garden of Eden is that WE HAVE TOO MUCH FOOD.
Since we value solutions, we give away free food every single day.
From feeding our volunteers and guests, to handing out boxes of groceries, to feeding single mothers, the firemen, and homeless people, giving away food (as well as shelter and clothing) is a fundamental aspect of our daily lifestyle!
As usual, we find ourselves with an overabundance, so today we took a few boxes of food to a local food bank that services tens of thousands of people in this region.
Some grocery stores in our area donate their expired or damaged foods to us a few times a week to help us feed tens of thousands of free meals a year.
Nothing ever goes to "waste" here at the Garden of Eden - we give away what we can, and any food that passes its prime is used to feed our chickens, or we turn it into vinegar, or it goes into the compost to make more Earth.
Because we did not have a lot of people come by to get groceries this week, we took the time and effort to put a few things in the car to take to the food bank.
We have plenty of meat, dairy, eggs, fruits, and veggies to share.
These are high quality foodstuffs that stores would have thrown into the landfill if we didn't step in to save them!
We pay these abundant donations forward and use our freedom to redistribute them to people in need.
We are happy to share the inspiring reality that there is more than enough of everything!
This food bank was grateful to receive donations from us to feed more people.
They have a huge operation with a giant warehouse! We hope to have a space like this one day to serve on a greater scale.
These donations will go towards feeding literally thousands of families.
We provide the same service for ANYONE, and we give away free food every day!
If you need or want food, we will give YOU free food too - no questions asked. Contact us, and we will make arrangements to give you food!

It is really a shame that the powers that be in the world have tricked everyone into thinking truly important items, such as food, are scarce and need to be procured in large amounts or with your last dollar. There is more than enough food for everyone in the world about 8 times over. No one EVER needs to starve to death. Do not by into the propaganda and know that food insecurity doesn't need to exist as it currently does. GO GOE!
YES there is MORE than enough for EVERYONE!
It's up to each individual to live this truth and embody a better way.
Thank you, Kim!
I am just coming across this for the first time and I am so amazed at what is happening here. Free food? You are doing great and your good rewards will come swiftly. Thank you so much for this gestures
You're welcome! We have been providing food, shelter, housing, clothing, education, and healing to people for almost a decade!
that is so kind of you. I used to emailed my company to donate the leftover x-mas party food to churches too, enjoying yourself while helping others is the best life style ever.
The human race isn't entirely screwd.... great job

@gardenofeden you guys are doing really a fabulous job. Such activities inspired to be a part of such initiative and to some efforts in such deeds which will make may soul relieved and surely I'm gonna to.
I just noticed a strange thing and I wanna ask. As you said, stores provide you with the damaged and expired groceries to feed the needy. Expired products? Wouldn't those will have bad health impacts instead?
I'm sure you guys take care of this but as this is not mentioned in the post so I'm curious about it.
No, expired products does not mean the food has gone bad.
Food manufacturers print a "sell by" or "best by" date on the product, and it is illegal for a store to sell something past these dates.
The fact is that the food is still good, but the company has printed a date that ensures it will get thrown away so they can supply new products and thereby guarantee their own continued business.
Food that has actually spoiled and is unfit for human consumption still has value - it can be added to a compost pile to make more dirt, for example. It is still absurd to waste it in the trash!
Alright. I was thinking from a consumer point of view. Like everybody, I would surely not gonna buy such expired products because it's common perception that the product is good till the date of expiring.
Yeah but you are right in this aspect, it doesn't mean that it actually has gone bad immediately after that date.
Thanks for your kind response.
