Ceres Community Project

Mission Statement We build healthy communities by restoring fresh, whole and organic food to its place as the foundation of health, and by connecting people in heart-centered ways to themselves, others and the earth.

Key facets of our approach include:

• Supporting individuals dealing with serious illness with free, delivered and nutrient-rich prepared meals, nutrition education, and a community of caring.
• Involving young people as volunteer gardeners and chefs, giving them direct, hands-on experience of the difference that fresh, healthy foods and community make, and of their own capacity to contribute.
• Educating the broader community, including health professionals, about the connection between fresh, healthy food, strong social networks, healing and wellness.
• Connecting people of all ages and from all walks of life to one another, and to their value as an integral part of the community.  

Operating Principles Heart Centered & Love Guided: We are committed to expressing love, trust, respect and integrity in our lives, work and organization.

Everything Matters: Nothing is left out. We work to have every action and choice lead to the greatest positive impact.

Young People are the Future: Young People are intelligent, responsible, capable, creative and caring, and must be central participants in shaping our collective future.

The Universe has a Purpose: Everything is connected, and life continually invites us to experience gratitude, abundance, connection, community and healing.
