Switchpoint's vision is to defeat homelessness. Their Rise Garden Towers will make over 100,000 leafy greens per year that will help feed their residents, as well as be sold to the community to help provide jobs and sustainability for Switchpoint. Their other project, Stepping Stones Daycare, provides child care services 24/7 for parents in need that have crazy work schedules.
