Seeds of Hope Outreach has been serving the community for more than 5 years. Our goal is to feed, serve,
educate and employ individuals, families and communities with Love, Support and to lend a hand to those
who are in need.
Seeds of Hope Outreach was established in 2007. The original inception was a home for men. From the
home for men the desire to feed the hungry and hurting was born. Since that time they have distributed food
to more than 30 organizations who help the poor. A few of the organizations they have assisted are: Mary’s
Table, Cooley’s Outreach, Bibleland, Agape Foster Youth Services and the earthquake victims in Mexico. It is
their vision to help those in need of education and employment. Seeds of Hope Outreach is committed to
making this world a better place.
Winter time is always a difficult time for individuals and families who are in need. Just trying to keep warm
can be a day to day struggle. You can easily help…just take a few minutes out of your day and clean out your
closet and donate those gently used coats, jackets and sweaters for all ages that no longer fit or you just don’t
wear. The Seeds of Hope Outreach will be on hand to collect these items on the next Free Dump Day so that
they may be shared with those less fortunate.

For more information on this collection, call the
Rialto Waste Management Office at (909) 421-7221.
