What is The Mustard Seed Project?
The Mustard Seed Project of Key Peninsula is a grass roots community-based organization
dedicated to building an “elder-friendly community.” It’s not about how old you are, but how you
are old. We believe an elder-friendly community is a good place for everyone to live.
Our Mission:
The mission of The Mustard Seed Project is to ensure choices for healthy aging on the Key
Peninsula by connecting seniors with innovative programs and resources.
Our Vision:
The vision of The Mustard Seed Project is to create an elder-friendly Key Peninsula, where our
neighbors may choose to safely “age in place” with dignity and respect.
How YOU can help!

remain on the Key Peninsula as they age. The Mustard Seed Project is always looking for volunteers for a wide range of services and supports.
