Ed’s Southern Food & Spirits Announces Vegetable Growing for the Homeless Project

Help fund a hydroponic vegetable growing operation to help feed the homeless and unemployed in the greater Eastern North Carolina area

Goldsboro, NC – June 26, 2015 – Ed’s Southern Food & Spirits is a farm to table restaurant that has been embraced by the Goldsboro North Carolina community. They have been fortunate with making their dreams come true by using their total combined knowledge of 44 years as business men with other ventures to gain success with opening this restaurant business that uses only fresh and organic products found in their community and farms.

However, these men realize that there are those that are less fortunate in their community who need help in their daily lives with basic necessities such as being able to have enough food to eat a proper meal or not having food at all where these people haven’t eaten all day.

Ed’s Southern Food & Spirits started a Vegetable Growing for the Homeless campaign on GoFundme. Their new idea is a hydroponic vegetable growing operation and urban agriculture project for feeding the homeless and unemployed in their community. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil using water and mineral nutrients allowing a continuous-flow solution culture that allows plants and vegetables to continuously grow under any conditions indoors.

They have filed for a 501 (c)3 status to create a non-profit foundation, however they will not receive their status for many months, so they decided to start this process to help feed the homeless and unemployed by using their own money and  also donations.

About Ed’s Southern Food & Spirits

About 2 years ago, three guys in the Greater Goldsboro and Greenville NC area of Eastern North Carolina had a dream to build a restaurant and serve beautiful and fresh Southern Food that would be a true Farm to Table restaurant, using only fresh and organic products found in their community and farms.  After months of hard work and dedication, they made that dream a reality by opening Ed's Southern Foods on Center Street in Goldsboro NC during the last week of October 2014.

Announcing the Campaign to Help Revitalize a Thriving Commercial District

Help fund a local home-grown restaurant looking to bring the community back to Downtown Richmond

Richmond, CA  – March 1, 2015 – The Richmond Main Street Initiative, Inc. and Home of Chicken and Waffles announce their campaign to open a new restaurant and revitalize a formerly thriving commercial district.

Historic Downtown Richmond finally has the chance to build itself up as a safe, vibrant, thriving destination for arts, entertainment, businesses, and residents with an easily accessible transit center. For far too long, the area of Downtown Richmond has suffered financially, and has struggled to attract the development projects that are vital to the economic development of the city. Restaurants and retail businesses are crucial components of a healthy, vibrant neighborhood, creating jobs and tax revenue that benefit the entire community.

Richmond Main Street is proud to be working in partnership with Home of Chicken and Waffles to bring a family-style sit down restaurant to the downtown Richmond shopping district.  In addition to Chicken and Waffles, there is also an opportunity to support the build out of the entire 10,000 square feet of raw retail space to support a café and coffee shop.

Richmond Main Street is in need of $75,000 to help Home of Chicken and Waffles with the first phase of the build out of this raw space. This campaign will give the historic Downtown area the boost it needs to begin creating a viable district with arts, entertainment, and wholesome food, all of which have been sorely needed for this long under-served community. Monies raised from this campaign will be used to fund Phase 1 of the large-scale tenant improvements needed to transform this raw space into a beautiful sit-down restaurant.

Please consider donating to this cause, and help revitalize the Downtown Richmond community.

About The Richmond Main Street Initiative, Inc.
The Richmond Main Street Initiative, Inc. is a community-based nonprofit corporation dedicated to revitalizing historic Downtown Richmond as a pedestrian-friendly urban village, offering products, services, arts, and entertainment that reflect the community’s rich and diverse heritage.
