Short Answer: No.
Longer Answer: Plant With Purpose’s staff works very hard to create a program built on not giving things away, but empowering individuals to be able to make choices. As Plant With Purpose supporters, we are there to encourage the work they are doing and to be careful of anything that could unintentionally counter the long-term work and ministry of Plant With Purpose. The best gift to leave is relationship. Spend time engaging staff and community members in conversation.
