Jesus talks a lot about feeding the hungry and sharing food with the poor. That's part of why we started this community garden, and why we were so happy to provide space for a Katie's Krops garden.
God's earth provides enough for all - no one should be hungry. We're so proud to have shared nearly 300 lbs of produce with our community! Much of that came from the church garden beds and the kid's Katie's Krops garden, but some of it is thanks to the generosity of the neighbors who garden with us.

Growing begins!
Katie's krops children's garden
We are extremely honored to host a Katie's Krops garden! "The mission of Katie’s Krops is to empower youth to start and maintain vegetable gardens of all sizes and donate the harvest to help feed people in need, as well as to assist and inspire others to do the same."
That mission is right up our alley! The kids of Solomon's UCC applied for and were awarded a grant to start their garden. It's our pleasure to give them the space they need to grow! If there is a kid your life who would like to participate, we'd be glad for their help.

United way day of caring - Nov. 10, 2023
With the help of the United Way of Franklin County's Day of Caring, we connected local Citi employees who volunteered to help us expand our garden! We built and filled (with soil from Rice Family Farms Compost and fertilizer from Sugar Hollow Farm Alpacas, LLC) 10 new garden beds! These raised beds will rest over the winter and be ready for planting in the spring.

With the help of the Chambersburg YMCA, we gave away SO MUCH produce from our garden to people in need! Big thanks to the Y for helping us get the word out and letting us use their space. Thanks to the church members who donated their garden extras, too!
