My Nonprofit Reviews

I first learned of this organization from Police Chief Susie Mowry of the Newport News Police Department. She said that there was a new organization that was highly motivated, had a good plan, and was doing a lot of good things in the community. She suggested that I meet with Renita Parker because she thought that our organizations had some things in common.
Good Seed Good Ground (GSGG) is a Community Based 501 C3 Non Profit organization whose focus is to help the less fortunate members of the community to become self-sustaining, productive citizens. Her primary focus is job training and job placement for youth, adults, and ex-offenders. It is the belief of GSGG that if the members of the community are employed there will be less crime, more family cohesiveness, and a healthier community overall.
As Community Liaison for Gospel Light Cares, Inc our paths have crossed with Renita Parker, Executive Director, GSGG on many occasions. We serve together on several community organizations and on the Board of Directors for the Southeast Community Weed and Seed, Inc. She is a " no-nonsense, let's get the job done individual".
I referred six youth to her program, all of whom were hired at Busch Gardens, and she arranged transporation for all of them. She is unselfish in sharing resources and contact information. She pulls her weight on various committes and takes the initiative to be creative and proactive. I recall taking an individual to her agency to seek employment...she was in the process of closing for the day, but remained open to assist the client with the application process.
I have assisted her with two Job Fairs. Both were well organized and well attended. Her heart is in her work and she goes above and beyond the call of duty, plus her agency is located in the heart of a poverty striken community where her services are in dire need. Many people in this community would go hungary if it was not for the work of GSGG.
