Helping the Homeless Through Farm-to-Table Training
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- There’s a San Francisco garden growing more than just produce. In a city plagued by homelessness, the Farming Hope Initiative offers urban farming and cooking training to those without a place to live. The program aims to give participants skills that can lead to full-time employment, and it hosts weekly dinners that bring together people experiencing homelessness and the wider community. These shared meals are an invitation to dialogue, empathy and some delicious-looking tacos.

It's wonderful that they're learning great skills
This channel is the best on UA-cam! Ty for all you do!
Kitten Ivy
Agreed, these videos are so interesting
Gathering with goodwill and positive people is key to surmount the depth of depression and despairs 😀
Helping others to help themselves. Well done! 👍
This channel deserves billion subscribers 👍
it's my absolute favorite discovery this year.
This should be implemented worldwide !!!
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime.
hope something like this can be sustainable here in NYC too.
This is how “helping the homeless”videos should be on UA-cam, not giving them money to fish out a reaction, praise and sympathy.
Everyone is great in their own way.
You’re doing great work
Love this!!! Well done!
Was about to sleep but let's watch
I think more communities should have neighborhood gardens for the community to bond and grow, nice
This touches my heart 🙂 keep it up!
Think of how much difference it would make if more places / people did this. Very inspiring, thank you.
I'm not homeless but hopeless in life and I want to work in that farm 😊
Unironically sponsored by the multinational financial services company, Wells Fargo...
Amazing! Let's go planting!
Respect
Give a homeless man an apple they’ll be satisfied for a day... teach a homeless man to farm they’ll be satisfied for the rest of their life
Its truly about connecting to communicate with one another that brings forth whats been there all along....understanding. “Growth itself contains the germ of happiness and from it, we all can grow."
BOO WELLS FARGO
I've been in this program. These folks are awesome.
too bad even if they did get full time jobs... san fransisco is pretty much impossible to live in if you don't make 100k a year or more
Why isn’t Justin Y. Here
Training homeless people to work as serfs, farming organic food for Silicon Valley dorks that priced them out of their housing
As a former homeless person I can attest to how these kind of "programs" are usually run.....I can bet you dollars to donuts that the homeless here either are not being paid at all or are paid a pittance for their labor in return for "job training".
Meanwhile the owners reap a profit on free or low cost labor and loads of government and private grant money.........duping tons of "socially conscious" customers who think they are doing good thing.
Poverty Inc in action.
+Daniel Herrera In any case, those meals were very much lacking in the protein they need to recover from strenuous work. Especially the older folks. If they're making money they can afford to give the workers some meat or something.
Michael Sherman That is because they are hipster dreamer types who live in a world of unicorns and rainbows and have a weak grasp of the problem they are dealing with(homelessness). They don't understand realities like nutrition.
They sincerely believe they can save all people in San Fran from homelessness by teaching them all how be Instagram Trendy Biodynamic Permaculture Beyond Organic Aquaponic Urban Farmers and Pintrest Fabulous Raw Vegan Farm To Table Food Truck Chefs.
That's why they are teaching them this nonesense rather than actual marketable trades that are in demand or helping them go to college to get a nicer paying job.
That is not cool and hip enough!
In the end this kinda of thing does more harm than good.
Hello there (I think I'm first comment but not sure for fact.)
I'd love to see this replace the food stamp program for those who can do it. So much healthier, both physically and mentally.
This is very nice. Big ups to these people 👍👍
People like this is what makes me proud of being human
a first class meal/cuisine for those in need :D
Home girl just straight ate a flower

This is not completely clear to me. It leaves me wondering: Do these homeless wake up from their cardboard box on the sidewalk and go work, get fed, and then back to the cardboard box on the street to sleep at night? Is there no farm where people sleep (like cowboys on a ranch), eat, work and live?
I work with homeless folks in Los Angeles. The restaurant industry is one of the few that will hire folks with troubled pasts. So, the practical skills in the kitchen are great, but the gardening and dining aspects are beautiful. My heart!
Nice sentiment but this program doesn't really help that much....if your not a celebrity chef restaurant work is some of the lowest wage work around. It is a brutal business. Same with agriculture. Not gonna get off the streets picking vegetables for a living.
Teaching low wage job skills to people is not gonna do much good for the homeless in San Francisco when you can't even afford to rent a closet working 80 hour weeks on a minimum wage salary there.
People need housing they can afford.
This is the world we need
That is such a great idea, if had had some more money I’d open up a place like that. Bringing everyone from rich to poor and putting them together will change peoples lives
Great move bro
This guy is too chipper, even for what he is talking about.
Edit: never mind. This is amazing.

ObliviousNerd hello

This is beautiful 🙏🏾
They are indirectly giving them homes 1000000000000000/10
As the saying goes "Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime", this is great for San Francisco! However, the problem is, not all homeless people want to work and not all of them are and others are addicted to drugs. Why work, when tourist can just give you a buck. Stack up all the money and they probably make more than an average minimum wage work. Not to mention, rising housing prices, expensive food, etc. Point is, it great that the FHI is doing this, it just... there also other things that causes these problems. One step at a time thought. So progress. I guess.
Nothing ever happens quickly. Any step forward is a good one.
Do you have statistics about homeles people not wanting to work?
Also, you can work but still homeless.
lenny mcready While i do not have the statistics, this is true in some cases. While others want to work and go forward in life, there are those that would rather prefer to beg and earn. They've not only become used to it now but they actually earn a lot more begging than a minimum wage job/jobs
Shamil Arifeen how much is SOME? I can also say that SOME smokers don't get cancer and thus smoking isn't harmless
lenny mcready Maybe you didn't bother to properly read my comment! I mentioned very clearly that i don't have statistics. But the comment that started this thread is true. He says that while there are hard workers who are homeless due to economic and other problems there is also this mentality that exists among a significant number of homeless people. If you want exact numbers please google or go conduct a census
Did..did she just eat a flower?
7 dollar soup and 2 eggs for 4 dollars. Is that usual for San Francisco? I know it's expensive but sheesh.

17th, water you gone do about it?
I am going to tell Alex Jones that you are an intergalactic child molester here to congregate with the reptiles and ultimately take out Alex Jones because he is spilling the beans.
*gasp* oh no, N O T T H E B E A N S
Always clean your beans
Superb. Keep up the excellent work.
Admirable, to say the least.
Respect from the UK.
how, an hour after the vox video
Roti sabji hai bhai. Takkos bolne se kya hoga😂
What a valiant and valuable cause! Very inspiring!
This is so lovely to see, very wholesome. More like it, keep up the good work!
0:45 that is the most beautiful art i've ever seen on the fence behind him
I hope this idea grows as much as it is sorely needed
Keep it up
