The Mount Pleasant FRB Growing Project is a community initiative to help end hunger overseas by supporting communities in developing nations to grow their own food.
A collaboration between church congregations, businesses and farmers, the Mount Pleasant Growing Project raises funds that are sent overseas through the Foods Resource Bank( FRB) network.
As a Christian response to world hunger, Foods Resource Bank links the grassroots energy and commitment of the U. S. agricultural community with the capability and desire of small farmers in developing countries to grow lasting solutions to hunger.
