Beginning with a long time God-inspired vision, His perfect timing allowed the launching of our first meeting, at which 5 ladies met and gathered in mid-August, 2006.  It has been an amazing journey to see God growing our group, making a strong foundation of Godly women.  It has been confirmed many times over that this group is meeting a great need, and is an answer to the prayers of many.  Praise to God!

In Fall 2007, Vine Ripe Kids became goverened by a team of four Board of Directors, whom volunteer their time for the well being of our group, and continue to enhance our growth for the future.  Some of our recent community service events have included our frequent visits to the Life Care Center, aiding with a fundraiser for Kids Beating Cancer, and knitting hats for babies in FL Hospital NICU by our Keepers at Home girls. 

By Winter 2007, we have grown to over 30 families, and growing.
