FAITH COMMUNITY GARDEN

The purpose of the Faith Community Garden is to reduce food insecurity and promote healthier eating by growing fresh vegetables for the residents in the neighborhoods near our church and to introduce youth and teenagers to vegetable gardening.  We will accomplish our mission through the following activities.

 

  • Grow a variety of seasonal vegetables throughout the year.

  • Distribute fresh vegetables to community members during the operation of our weekly Soup Kitchen.

  • Utilize fresh vegetables as part of the weekly Soup Kitchen meal.

  • Give students the opportunity to gain community service credits by working in the garden.

  • ​Conducting quarterly community health and nutrition workshops. Fresh vegetables and other incentives will be given to attendees.

  • Provide preparation, planting, and harvesting opportunities for youth and school groups.

 

The contributing supporters of the community garden are:

Ø Tri-County Health Network
