Feeding the hungry

The eradication of hunger by way of our Food and Faith Garden is one of our major activities. In 2007, we dug up part of our front lawn and planted a garden as a way to help feed the hungry in our area.

Our garden is located on the lawn in front of the church on Old US 12, just west of M-52 and across from the fairgrounds. Our chief gardener is parishioner, Nancy Scott. Over the three seasons we have grown vegetables and collected them from local gardeners, we have donated over a ton of produce to Food Gatherers, the Washtenaw County food pantry.

We've also been collecting dry and canned food staples for the pantry on an ongoing basis. Food Gatherers is experiencing all-time high demands during these difficult economic times. Find out more at foodgatherers.org.

If you have produce, dry or canned food you could give to help feed the hungry around us, please contact us at your earliest convenience!.
