Good morning Mr. Anthony,

I want to say thank you to you and your wife. You guys helped me more than I could imagine. I’ve been working with the organization you recommended that helps women in domestic violence situations, and I have come in touch with some amazing people and been in therapy for 4 months now.

Again, thank you.

Our Why

Meet the Founder

April Ghoston started Seed in the Ground with a deeply rooted passion for helping others and sharing the word of God. With over 30 years’ experience in the healthcare industry, April has always found joy in caring for others, both spiritually and physically.

In 2010, April and her husband moved to Bluffton, South Carolina from Indianapolis, Indiana and instantly fell in the love with the Lowcountry. They soon joined a local Church in Bluffton and led the start-up of its first food pantry in 2014. As April started building relationships with pantry clientele, she quickly learned that hunger was one of many needs people were experiencing. Along with food insecurities, homelessness seemed to be increasing, the lack of financial resources was evident, the lack of transportation was prominent, spiritual mentoring and guidance was needed, and the need for life skills training further impaired several individuals from achieving hope and independence.

Having overcome many of her own hardships, April has devoted her life to helping others with their needs. In 2020, Seed in the Ground was founded to help fight hunger and create hope for those who desire to improve their lives. Along with her husband, she continues to address food insecurities in poverty-stricken communities, help individuals resolve the underlying issues that drive their food insecurities, and build a plan to move forward or redirect them to understand God’s word for their lives. She truly seeks to build long-lasting relationship with her clients and their families.

Our Mission.

Our mission is simply helping people get through difficult times. Hunger destroys families, communities, and your stability, further impairing your potential to achieve independence. We are driven to work hard, reach wide, and serve all.

Our Impact.

Clients have more money to allocate towards rent, utilities, daycare, transportation, school supplies, prescriptions, doctor visits, savings, debt repayment, and more as a result of our food ministry program and your donations. To God be the Glory!!
