Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

All of the organic fruits and vegetables grown in the Faith & Grace Garden are donated to local food pantries.

Faith & Grace Garden is located alongside St. Timothy's Episcopal church and Covenant Presbyterian Church in West Des Moines.

How to Help:

Individuals and groups can join the work of Faith & Grace Garden by volunteering or donating equipment or materials. Volunteers are retirees, church groups, civic groups, students, neighbors and other people who want to enjoy fresh air and sunshine while helping other people. Volunteers help with planting, weeding, watering, harvesting and delivering to the food pantries. 

Scheduled work days in the gardens are week days 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and weekends except Sunday mornings. Food delivery help is needed on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. However, they will schedule a work event any time (except Sunday morning) that three or more persons wish to work.

Individuals can weed or hoe outside of scheduled work times anytime at their convenience. A typical work event lasts 1 to 2 hours. Donations of equipment or materials are also helpful from time to time. Their website has a list of current equipment needs.
