BACKGROUND

I saw the development and nurturing of Bountiful Harvest from its beginnings. Ms. Johnson has worked diligently, never giving up on her dream. Her methodology was to Plan and Share the vision, looking forward to its implementation and reaping a bountiful harvest in her local community and beyond.
One component of the program is to provide Tutoring during after school hours to better enhance their Academic abilities.
This organization has allowed families to come together by participating in a Social Cultural event called "Family Night" where participants can meet, play table and competative games, hear Awareness type presentations that educate the community, and enjoy food and fellowship.
Ms. Johnson gives so much of her time and finances to make our community a good place to live. We need more like her to take an active part in making our community a better place to live. Scripture says " The harvest is Plentiful, but the Laborers are few".
I hope these words of encouragement wil be an inspiration to her to press on to achieve GOD purpose and I pray for his continued blessings on her efforts to see the vision come to past.
I know the efforts that have been expended will produce good things for our community and I am greteful to be a part of this.
Bountiful Harvest is dedicated to providing excellent service to it's customers. Their goal is to exceed the customer expectations and they are doing just that. The prices are very competitive and I'm satisfied with the service received.
Bountiful Harvest's founder touched my life over twenty years ago w/her giving spirit, unconditional love and overwhelming concern for our community and its families: I learned from her willingness to share information the useful and practical task of garnering "corporate gifts" for the betterment of the children in our community! And ... have used & shared said continually over the last decades. We re-encountered each other / re-acquainted ourselves after raising our children and attempting to be faithful stewards / instruments of goodwill in our growing community: It was after said re-acquaintance that I learned of Bountiful Harvest's inception and actualization; much of what this organization has accomplished is a consequence of the diligence, steadfastness, and financial support of its founder w/the assistance of a few reliable supporters. She and her board are selfless individuals / GOD sends who deflect w/grace those persons and entities which attempt to block the multitude of blessings that Bountiful Harvest bestows upon those in need and worthy students. Bountiful Harvest's obvious goal is simplicity at its best ... "do unto and for others as one would want to be done to / for oneself." i support Bountiful Harvest and its mission and look forward to assisting in the furtherment of the intellectual empowerment of our children and sustaining families and individuals seeking positive life affirming re-direction: i hope that pray that YOU do as well.
