The Healthy Earth Organization, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, was established in 2019 by Falon Tabares and John Harold to inspire young people in Southwest Florida to connect with nature and understand pressing environmental issues.
Our mission is to equip youth with the tools and opportunities to engage with their community, become environmental stewards, and drive positive change.
Through our outreach programs and partnerships, we offer hands-on S.T.R.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Climate Resilience, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities to over two thousand participants each quarter. These projects foster critical thinking and a lasting appreciation for the natural world. With 60% of U.S. youth concerned about climate change and unsure of how to help, we aim to empower them to take meaningful action and make a difference.
We are dedicated to creating a positive change in the lives of children ages 4 -25. Our passionate staff, generous donors, and caring international volunteers help provide resources to further our work.
Unfortunately, our picnic tables at Veggie Village Community Garden which are essential for community workshops and gatherings, were severely impacted by Hurricane Helene and completely damaged by Hurricane Milton.
We’re raising $3,600 to replace them with four durable, commercial-grade round picnic tables that will withstand future storms. Each table costs $900. We ask that you help our fundraising efforts.
