LAWN CARE WITH A CAUSE

Good Soil Industries (GSI) is a social enterprise that helps both men and women with employment barriers work their way out of poverty. Local residents receive job acquisition and retention training, goal setting and accountability, financial planning, and life coaching. GSI employs hard-to-hire neighbors, in hopes of systematically reducing homelessness and dependency on financial assistance.  Participants receive transitional job opportunities lasting between 3 and 6 months through GSI Landscape Services, which provides landscape maintenance for commercial and residential properties. As a result of the job training and current work history, over 200 participants from Bellflower and the surrounding area have graduated from the program and found steady, full-time employment, allowing them to support themselves and their families!  GSI is a program of Kingdom Causes Bellflower (KCB), a non-profit community development organization based in Bellflower, CA.
