THIS MONTH: Friendship Gardens

April was amazing! As a group we raised more than $150 for Kony2012 Movement and – more importantly – we raised awareness as to who Joseph Kony is and why we need to catch him.

This month, we hope you’ll join us Sundays at 5:45 to support another GREAT cause: Friendship Gardens!!!!

Friendship Gardens creates community around local food traditions; grows healthy food, making it available to all, especially those with limited access; and shares knowledge and passion for sustainable food production.

Friendship Gardens is an established and expanding network of community, school, faith-based, institutional, public, private, and backyard gardens.  Most of our garden partnerships share their harvest for the benefit of Friendship Trays recipients and all of our gardens keep a share of their harvest. To the community we offer educational workshops, volunteer and leadership opportunities, community connections, and food access for to those with limited options.  We are a web of collaboration and community cross-pollination.  Donations are used to support the mission of Friendship Gardens through the purchase of supplies (seeds, soil, and such) and paid staff time to expand our program and help start more gardens.
