Greenhouse Ministries accepted a check for $20,814.23 from Publix Super Market Charities on May 2 at Greenhouse Ministries offices in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Greenhouse Ministries will use this check for their general operating fund that goes to support all of our client services. Greenhouse Ministries' Director of Operations, Julie Young, describes the excitement from receiving this check.

"Publix is amazing, awesome and wonderful to Greenhouse Ministries," Young said. "They truly care about their community and helping those in need. Greenhouse Ministries appreciates the wonderful relationship we have with Publix and the heart they have for helping those that do not have anyone to help them."

During Publix's Food for All Campaign during the holiday season, Publix cashiers would ask each customer if they would like to buy one of their canned goods items they are donating to local nonprofits. Publix then donated the canned goods to local nonprofits (including Greenhouse Ministries). Publix also donated the monetary amount the canned goods were worth.

Greenhouse Ministries is a nonprofit organization that offers a holistic approach to helping people. Greenhouse Ministries offers to help, educate and connect. Greenhouse helps by providing food, clothes, toiletries, household items, legal clinic, nursing clinic, and much more. Greenhouse educates by offering classes from budgeting to GED tutoring. Greenhouse connects by connecting clients with jobs, housing and other resources. Greenhouse was co-founded by Cliff and Jane Sharp in 1999 after the couple worked for the local pregnancy center and had a calling to serve those in need. Seventeen years later, Greenhouse Ministries has thrived and acquires donations of food, furniture and clothing every day, and every day the organization provides those items for individuals and families in need. Built on Christian principles, the motto of Greenhouse is "planting hope in the 'Boro," and the organization strives to help clients go from needing to giving back.
