Mission Statement:

To fight food insecurity and promote health equity in underserved communities by providing access to free or low-cost seafood and plant-based meals through a sustainable partnership between Fishbone Seafood and local nonprofit organizations.

Nature's Hotline

Based in View Park, California, they are strictly a volunteer based organization — nobody takes any salaries and they have no affiliation with any religious groups. Instead, they speak for individuals who don’t have a voice. As a result of their ongoing work in the community they’ve been the recipient of numerous donations, in turn giving back to organizations and schools. Nature’s Hotline is entirely dedicated to making the community a better place.

Our nonprofit organization utilizes farm land to provide community services in several ways, including:

Establishing a community garden: Our nonprofit organization converted a portion of farm land into a community garden where community members can come together to grow their own fruits and vegetables. This can help promote healthy eating and provide access to fresh produce in areas where it may be otherwise limited.

Offering educational programs: Our nonprofit organization provides educational programs that teach community members about sustainable farming practices, animal husbandry, or other related topics. This can help promote environmental awareness and provide valuable skills to community members.

Providing food access programs: Our nonprofit organization uses the farm land to grow crops and raise livestock to provide food for community members in need. This includes programs such as food banks and farm-to-table meal programs that distribute fresh, healthy food to those who may not have access to it otherwise.

Hosting community events: Our nonprofit organization also uses the farm land to host community events, such as farmer's markets, festivals, and other gatherings. This helps bring community members together and creates a sense of community around the farm.

Providing job training: Our nonprofit organization also uses the farm land to provide job training programs to community members, such as teaching them how to grow and sell produce, manage livestock, and operate farm machinery. This can help provide valuable skills and job opportunities to those who may face barriers to employment.

Overall, utilizing farm land in these ways helps our nonprofit organization provide valuable services to the community while also promoting sustainable agriculture and environmental awareness.
