OT: Cool new shirt (bang bang) and #eating florida update
Hello everyone,
Here is a couple pictures from the Florida clean up day that we had this morning but first my cool new shirt with my new bling.
For those of you who don't know we have 2 community garden projects that is called #EATING project and we started with support from Mgoblogers so the pictures you are looking at are from the First garden in me and Martavious Odoms hometown Pahokee, Florida. It is called the H.O.P.E. Garden
Our new project here in Michigan is in Flint and we are putting a garden on an Alumni' grandma's old houses lot and also workign with 2 Elementary Schools to create gardening programs through the school year and summer to get the lead out their bodies.
You can read more and support Flint #EATING effort by coming to help and at our gofundme at https://www.gofundme.com/feedflint (or feedflint.org)

This is awsome! I honestly thought I was going to see a wolverine eating a gator with 41-7 on the shirt.
February 13th, 2016 at 2:48 PM ^
That would be a nice shirt!
February 13th, 2016 at 3:02 PM ^
I wonder if someone at the MGoBlog Store is reading this thread...
February 13th, 2016 at 2:43 PM ^
I'm in Pensacola, but have friends from Pahokee. I'm glad you made something happen that is so good for the community. Then you brought it up north. Staying hungry to keep people fed!
February 13th, 2016 at 2:49 PM ^
Thanks I am going to keep up the work and keep the project going.
February 13th, 2016 at 2:43 PM ^
Wearing the shirt now at the Bball game. Bang bang!

hit. Too bad they don't show the play earlier when you lit him up and he limped away hurting. I must say you were pound for pound the toughest Wollverine I ever saw play. Topping my favorite all time Wolverine and fellow Floridian, AC

Thanks and also I tried my best every time I laced up
February 13th, 2016 at 3:16 PM ^

Glad to see such great work being done in the community
February 13th, 2016 at 2:51 PM ^
Thank you its much needed
February 13th, 2016 at 3:30 PM ^
Hey Mr. Smith. far be it from me to tell someone else how to live their life, but have you considered pursuing a Master's degree in social work? It seems like with your passion for helping people it might be a god fit for you. U of M MSW alums include D Garner and Warde Manual, among many others
February 13th, 2016 at 3:35 PM ^
Gardner
February 13th, 2016 at 4:18 PM ^
It appears to me he's mastered social work.
February 13th, 2016 at 4:30 PM ^
Thank you and I am looking into that as we speak.
February 13th, 2016 at 3:08 PM ^
MrSmith, I got a chance to meet you after a game this fall with my brother. We walked down stadium with you and parted ways at Lucky's Market. Just wanted to say that it is awesome the work that you do and it's always great to hear about great work being done by great people. We are all so fortunate to have had you in a Michigan uniform. Some things are bigger than football. Go Blue, Deuce, for life!

Will you be adding more #EATING gardens in Michigan this spring? Is Allegan the only #EATING garden in West Michigan?
February 13th, 2016 at 4:32 PM ^
Allgean I was a guest star at and we have a new garden program in FLINT. I am going to be working in 2 Elementary schools and also havea plot behind one of the schools. Would love to see you come out. and help.
February 13th, 2016 at 7:48 PM ^
at Allegan, as I'm only about an hour or less from there. Just let me know when and I'll plan on it.
I'll see if Flint might work; biggest problem is that it's over 3 hours away.
February 13th, 2016 at 3:34 PM ^
Thanks Vincent! Your posts always inspire!

February 13th, 2016 at 4:33 PM ^
Thanks you will be looking cool
February 13th, 2016 at 4:12 PM ^
You are a good man.
My dad always told me that if you keep looking-out for others, you will never have to worry about yourself.
February 13th, 2016 at 4:34 PM ^
Your dad is right about that one and I appreciate it.
February 13th, 2016 at 4:22 PM ^
I love this. I love the goal of bringing green, healthy, back-to-nature gardening to urban areas. This is healthy for all those involved on multiple levels!
We're really proud of the work You and Odoms are doing, Vincent. You are an example of what makes us proud to be part of the Michigan family.
BANG BANG!!
February 13th, 2016 at 4:35 PM ^
Bang Bang and thank you for your support and we will continue to do our best and its great to be apart of a great community like Michigan and Pahokee. Go Blue
February 13th, 2016 at 4:27 PM ^
Mr Smith. Wonderful work and great shirt. I'm on the board for a MI based non-profit that has successfully worked with a school district to put community gardens at schools. The kids plant, maintain and make meals from their plots. If you'd like to compare notes we're always willing to share.
Again, great work.

Well done, keep the updates coming and Go Blue!
February 13th, 2016 at 4:55 PM ^
I need to definitely get out and lend a hand when I'm back in the state soon. Will do.
February 13th, 2016 at 5:02 PM ^
You are a true Michigan Man! When is the next event in Flint that we can volunteer at?
February 14th, 2016 at 11:15 AM ^
I will keep you updated when we have a concrete date and time.
February 13th, 2016 at 5:11 PM ^
Go Blue!
February 13th, 2016 at 7:10 PM ^
Keep up the great work, brother. You're a class act, and a phenomenal representative of the Maize & Blue.
February 13th, 2016 at 7:49 PM ^
Any way promotion of the #EATING GoFundMe can get upgraded to a diary? The last thread was buried in the board after about a day, plus the work being done is certainly Diary-worthy. Even better if added as a sticky to the dropdown menu while the GoFundMe is active.
February 14th, 2016 at 1:22 PM ^
Thanks I don't know how to do that but its a great suggestion.
February 14th, 2016 at 1:29 AM ^
The H.O.P.E. garden looks good (and bigger). Did you get extra land from when it first started?
February 14th, 2016 at 1:12 PM ^
Yes we are expanding out because it's been so successful.
February 14th, 2016 at 4:29 AM ^
I think it's awesome that you are doing such a great cause for your community and bringing Michigan fans closer to the cause to help out. Keep doing great things, Vince.
