Children's Gardening andNutrition Education Program
The classes are designed to help children learn how to grow food naturally and what to do with it when it is harvested. It includes lessons in Composting, Pollination, understanding of the root and stem systems, and natural ways of maintaining healthy plants without the use of chemicals.
Once they have planted all their seedlings, the focus shifts to the health bene�ts of fresh fruits & vegetables and how to use them. Lessons include juicing, dehydration, canning and food preservation, raw foods and cooked foods.
Classes are held in the fall as soon as classes resume from summer break and end with the presentation of certi�cates of achievement the 2nd week in December. Classes are also held in February through May to complete Florida's growing cycle.

30th Anniversary of Service
to the Community1987-2017
1987 – 2000: Organized by the Boynton Clergy in 1987 to provide basic human needs – food, shelter and financial assistance. Volunteer-run organiza-tion and self funded. Budget never exceeded more than $2,000 annually.
2000 – 2007 : • It wasn’t until 2000 that the CCC hired an executive director • 2003 “Faith in Action” 3-year Grant received from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation • Garnered financial grant support from City of Boynton Beach and CRA • Largely self-funded thru fundraising activities
2007 – 2010 : • Completed 7-yr study, funded by the Lattner Foundation, identifying the root cause for needed emergency services, and found that 32% are debilitated by a nutrition related disease to such a point they could no longer work. • CCC began to restructure existing programs based on a belief that the lack of access to sustainable healthy & affordable food was certainly one of the root causes in the poverty cycle. • CCC initialized it Economic Development Concept addressing the concept of “Creating A Healthier Community” through Green Markets, culinary business development centers, nutrition education, urban farming, & food preservation
2015 – 2017In 2015 the Jim Moran Foundation provided CCC’s first large grant for capacity building which we used for capital, sta�ng and also to identify additional resources to help address programmatic development andsustainability.
CCC is UNIQUE because of the integration of economic development & social service programs: Eco Dev programs include an Urban Farming Project, a culinary business development center, culinary job training, nutrition education, food preservation and children’s gardening classes, and acooperative market center.
Social service programs include homeless outreach, Emergency Food Shelter & Financial Assistance, food pantry and mass food distribution, and our signature social service program: The Senior Caregiving Program which helps seniors to age in place.

SECRET GARDEN CAFEa Culinary Business Development Center
The Community Caring Center of Greater Boynton Beach, Inc. d/b/a The Secret Garden Cafe, A
Culinary Incubator Program, is an Economic Development program which provides services and
community development initiatives that strategically promote the growth and revitalization
e�orts of a targeted low- and moderate- income communities in Boynton Beach, known as the
Heart of Boynton.
The Market/Deli/Bakery is a not- for- pro�t grocer and a culinary incubator program, known as
the Secret Garden Café. It is a unique and innovative model that integrates social service
programs and economic development by addressing root causes of poverty relating to the access
to healthy and a�ordable food. Our social services and economic development programs are
located in a poverty area of Boynton Beach, known as the Heart of Boynton.
The Heart of Boynton has been identi�ed as a “Food Desert” by the United States Department of
Agriculture. Our programs include:
A culinary incubator program to develop small businesses and create job growth;
An “Easy Garden Gourmet Cooking Classes” that provides nutrition education to adults and
children by teaching cooking, drying, and canning classes focusing on a�ordability using
seasonal fruits and veggies, teaching how the use of fresh herbs and veggies can reduce salt,
sugar and fat in diets;
An Organic and A�ordable Meat & Veggie monthly package, using our restaurant license for
bulk purchases at reduced and wholesale prices;
An Urban Farming Project which helps increase the a�ordability of locally grown fresh fruits and
vegetables;
A Senior Veggie Mobile Program providing delivered meals, fresh soups, fruits and vegetables to
the 274 frail and elderly shut - ins within the community.
This strategy encourages the expansion of capital investment; increasing family income, wealth
and employment; stimulates local economic activity and connections to the regional economy;
and improves the access to a�ordable and sustainable food centers. This strategy support healthy
environments and lifestyles within the community, and fosters empowerment and raise
possibilities. This project goes directly to the heart of community building and sustainability.”
Culinary Incubator Program
We cannot celebrate the 30th Anniver-sary of the Community Caring Center without a BIG round of applause for Sherry Johnson who has been the
Executive Director of the organization for over sixteen years. Sherry has
ALWAYS had big dreams for CCC, and she has been working intrepidly to
make those Dreams Come True. Thanks to her efforts and the tireless hours she works, she has developed many of the
programs described in our program book, including growing produce for our clients, teaching nutrition educa-
tion to children and seniors alike, bringing fresh food and hot meals to our frail & elderly seniors through our Senior Veggie Mobile Program and
developing a culinary business incubator which has developed into a business development center and training site for entrepreneurs. Her
enthusiasm, dedication and commitment to the people this organization serves is a huge asset to the community. Our Senior Care Giving Program
which allows our 260 seniors to age in place. She has done all of this while still keeping to the original purpose of providing an emergency food
pantry and financial assistance to many of the people CCC serves. And… she still has more plans in store for CCC as it moves into its next 30 years!
She has worked to create and build relationships in the community and with our wonderful partnership with The City of Boynton Beach and the
CRA has set the course for our continued growth. She is always looking for opportunities to provide better services to our clients and plans for the
future. She has been the foundation of The Community Caring Center of Greater Boynton Beach and without her dedication, passion, hard work
and sometimes sweat and tears, this organization would NOT becelebrating this milestone anniversary!
On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and clients,THANK YOU, Sherry for making your Dreams Come True!!!
