St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church's Faith & Food Garden

The 2011 Faith and Food is about to begin! ICPJ joins again this year with well-known hunger relief agencies, Food Gatherers and Growing Hope, to support the development of congregational gardens to feed the hungry.

In 2010 26 local congregations tended gardens, and donated 9,296 lbs of fresh, healthy food to the hungry.  The 2010 growing season involved 13 new congregations. We are excited to announce that in addition to the increase in congregational involvement, there was a 170% increase in pounds of food donated.

Interested in joining us for the 2011 growing season?

Plans for 2011 include increased resources, training, and additional food drop-off options to provide improved support to new and returning gardens.  Join us for our 2011 Kick-off to hear about the program, and learn how you can get involved. Visit www.foodgatherers.org and click on “Get Growin’ for Food Gatherers!” for great resources to get started! You can also contact Food Gatherers with questions at getgrowing@foodgatherers.org or call 734-761-2796.
