This app is an extension of the Gullah/Geechee Agroculture project. We are pleased to provide this resource to members of all Gullah/Geechee communities at no additional fee. This app contains important information about financial and technical resources available through multiple federal, state, and local programs. This app also provides links to relevant videos, community organizations, and articles.
