The Abundant Ground has five programs. The Abundant Ground in Haiti sends monthly supplies of food, clothing and medical supplies by boat and air to victims recovering from the earthquake. Our purpose in sending these provisions is to bring immediate relief and ultimately help this country toward complete recovery... Learn More.


The Abundant Ground in Louisiana is a program offering the finishing touches for the home. We give survivors and any resident in Louisiana basic necessities for every room in the home. For what these residents have been through, as the precursor to better emergency relief aid, we continually want a "Welcome Home" package available for them.


Please Make a Donation TodayThe Abundant Ground in NYC is a holiday card distribution program. Every holiday we provide postage paid Hallmark holiday cards to inmates in New York City. It is our desire to help families and children with incarcerated parents. We are working to include birthday cards and Mother's Day cards to our distribution. Again our hope is to build support between families, children and those incarcerated. The Abundant Ground on Long Island & Florida are clothes distribution programs. There are still so many families who are struggling. We want, through this program, to give them a boost with free quality clothing and food donations.

Back On

My Feet

Empowerment and self-esteem building for the homeless doesn’t always come from providing food and shelter as Back on My Feet will attest. This non-profit organization that promotes self-sufficiency of the homeless through running as a means of building confidence, self-esteem and strength (mental and physical) through a sense of community, discipline, and respect.

In almost four years, Back on My Feet has raised more than $3 million and brought a new light to the homelessness debate. Based in Philadelphia, Anne Mahlum’s brainchild, they are one of the most remarkable in its class (Back on My Feet Coming to Washington DC, 2/19/2010). It helps the homeless reestablish order in their lives through running – along with a couple t-shirts and running shoes for participants.

The power of running is a new kind of therapy that help transition the homeless back into a life of routine and meaning. Participants are encouraged to make early morning runs on a daily basis, in groups. Later, this routine can help them transition into stronger, more focused individuals. Back on My Feet has helped many people who thought they lost it all; get back into the game and even back on the job market (Wink, Back on My Feet Coming to Washington DC, 2/19/2010).

Applying running as therapy can be used to other rehabilitation treatments including therapy. Anything that can get a person into some sort of structure and routine can be a way of easing them back into some sort of normalcy. Back on My Feet has taken something as simple as a pair of running shoes and motivation and transformed countless lives.
