Unity Gardens has gone beyond nourishing bodies. They have nourished a whole community with hope and education. What they have created will be felt for many generations.
These gardens take away food insecurity and people living in survival mode and replace it with thriving and hope. I am so grateful for the blessings they have brought our community.
There are now over 50 garden locations throughout St. Joseph County and their new learning and community center has multiple free classes every month. They also go into local schools and create gardens for the kids on the school grounds. Their new Veggie Bus will take food into neighborhoods without stores and fresh food.
Please lend your support and join in the fun by volunteering as an individual or for a fun group activity!
