We are called by faith to co-create with God and our community the resources and connections needed to rise above adversity.
We extend our altar, where Christ is present to us in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, to our neighborhood, where we seek and serve Christ in all persons. We do this by offering a community garden, provide a weekly food distribution (2000 pounds of fresh vegetables every week), gather the community through events into conversation and relationships, and provide a ministry center where free mental health counseling and free clothing and household items are available.
We understand that the community is called to heal the community and therefore, we partner with many organizations to make a difference in our neighborhood. Some of our partners include local churches, The Gleaning Project, Shippensburg Community Resource Coalition, Shippensburg University, and local individuals dedicated to bringing wholeness to all those around us.
We understand we need to “be the change” we want to see in the world and come each day into the garden expecting to be changed by the people we meet, the interactions we have, and the grace and beauty of those around us.
Here are some photos of the many ways we touch the hearts and lives of our neighbors.
