About Salty Soul Foundation:
Salty Soul Foundation was founded in 2017 by John and Mary Helms, originally from the Mississippi Delta. Together, they founded Salty Soul Foundation with the mission of preserving the natural beauty and integrity of our beaches and oceans.
The idea for Salty Soul Foundation came about when John and Mary were out at the beach one day and they saw how much trash was out there. They were shocked and saddened by the amount of trash, and they knew that they had to do something to help. They decided to start a non-profit organization that would focus on cleaning up beaches and educating people about the importance of protecting our oceans.
Salty Soul Foundation has been very successful since it was founded. They have removed over 30,000 pounds of trash from beaches in Florida and California. They have also educated over 6,000 people about the importance of protecting our beaches and oceans at local cleanups.
