In the heart of a quiet North Charleston community , the only things keeping the soul of the place together are the echoes of a once vibrant community.
After the town lost its vibrancy due to the closure of the Old Navy Base and the departure of Winn Dixie in 2005, a Black-led nonprofit is sowing the seeds of change !
Meet Germaine Jenkins, the visionary co-founder of Fresh Future Farm, a farm and grocery store with a mission to transform a food , place, and job desert into a flourishing oasis of opportunity .
In 2014 , facing the stark reality of a disinvested neighborhood where quality food and job opportunities had become scarce, Jenkins and her team embarked on a journey to reclaim the vacant city lot that once symbolized a bustling community hub.
With limited resources but boundless determination , Fresh Future Farm was born.
Over the last six years, Germaine Jenkins has steered a team that defied the odds, creating abundance where neglect once prevailed.
