I am currently an employee of Faith Farm Ministries in Boynton Beach and love serving our God through our students in recovery as well as the community. But I also have a history with FFM going back 15 years or more with my daughter. Before I even knew about Faith Farm's Free 9 month Drug & Alcohol Recovery Program, like many, I only knew about the thrift store, and the free pick up of donated items of all kinds. God's glory has truly blessed Faith Farm in so many ways. As a single mother supporting a young child on my modest income at that time, it was the only place I could take my daughter shopping and allow her to load up the cart. It was so refreshing to not have to tell her "No you can't have that, or you have to choose because you can only have this". So we both have very fond memories of Faith Farm and our parent-child bonding. And now that I know my patronage was/am transforming the lives of other's who were shackled to the bondage of addiction, and now are free, I feel God's goodness even more. I love being part of an organization that has so many success stories happening every single day. I too have been affected by drug and alcohol addiction personally and with relationships and know the destructive cost to the users and everyone around them. Since it's inception in 1951 when Rev. Garland "Pappy" Eastham founded Faith Farm, not only have addicts been given an opportunity of recovery into a sober life, but are taught job skills with the Work Program as well as faith Based curriculum to allow our students to live a drug and alcohol free life with the guidance and love of Father God.
I am thankful to our Lord in so many ways, and I praise God's blessings in the positive changes in the lives of people everyday at Faith Farm Ministries.
