- Reverend Richard Joyner
In Conetoe North Carolina, he founded a community garden which he and local children help care for. They live in a food desert, which means the closest grocery store is ten miles away and access to fresh food is limited. To help boost health of citizens in his community, he founded this garden called "The Conetoe Family Life Center". They are now in control of more than 20 plots of land and have 80 young volunteers who grow almost 50,000 pounds of fresh foods every year.
