We Love Our Community

Moving Forward with the help of others:
An Analysis of the Partnerships of The Mustard Seed Furniture & Clothing Bank of Central Florida

Above is a link to a masters thesis paper written by Shameika Daye, MPA. She is a student at The University of Central Florida, studying in the Department of Public Administration in the College of Health and Public Affairs. In her thesis, she focuses on analyzing how we, at The Mustard Seed, utilize our community relationships to help fufill our mission.

It's true! We rely heavily on the help of others within the Central Florida community in order to do what we do.

Our warehouse depends on the volunteers who come in daily and generously give of their time.
Volunteers from BB&T helped out in August.
Hands On Orlando volunteers helped us out in the warehouse in November! These volunteers created "dish-packs" for Mustard Seed clients.
We work together with other organizations in the community to help raise awareness about our cause!
In November, Lindsay and Jennifer, staff members at The Mustard Seed, recieved a tour of the paper recycling center at Andes Fiber & Paper.
The Kiwanis Club of orlando supports The Mustard Seed!

A big thank you to Shameika for acknowledging what we do and how important our community relationships truly are here at The Mustard Seed!

We will no longer be utilizing Paper Retriever as a recycling partner. But have no fear! We will still be recycling our paper and will continue to provide a place for the community to recycle theirs.
