As chefs & restaurateurs, we believe deeply in the power of food education and sharing experiences around the table, a driving force behind our business as we build stronger connections with our teams and our communities. Here in Charleston, we are lucky enough to be surrounded by individuals and organizations - such as The Green Heart Project - dedicating their work to creating equal access to farm fresh foods and empowering the next generation with healthy habits.
The Green Heart Project - a non-profit founded in 2009 - has established a network of Farm to School programs within Charleston, utilizing school gardens & urban farms as vehicles for teaching - connecting students to food, health, culture & the environment. Students are connected with fresh, locally grown fruits & vegetables as they participate in the growing, harvesting and cooking processes.
With hands-on, outdoor learning experiences students learn core values and practice essential social-emotional learning (SEL) skills while working alongside volunteers - “Green Heart Buddies” - in the garden & kitchen classroom.
Through the Dreamboats 501C3 Campaign, we aim to raise funds to sponsor Green Heart’s annual programming, reaching more students, more community members and improving access to fresh produce. It is our intention to raise awareness and funding for the Green Heart Project and to amplify their core mission; connecting people and cultivating community through growing, eating and celebrating food.
