SUMMARY:Gospel Garden Clean Up and Planting Session
DESCRIPTION:Gospel Garden Clean Up and Planting Sessions \nMay 16\, 10–11AM: Sign Up \nLocation: St. Mark’s Gospel Garden \nSpring has arrived\, and we need your help to kick off this year’s Gospel Garden season! We’re rolling up our sleeves to clean up the beds\, get them ready for planting\, and put the first vegetables in the ground. \nThe Gospel Garden grows organic produce that is 100% donated to the New Canaan Food Pantry and Person-to-Person in Darien — two organizations facing growing demand. In one of the wealthiest counties in America\, food insecurity is a real and rising problem: many families struggle to afford nutritious food as grocery and housing costs climb\, and federal food assistance is being cut for tens of thousands of Connecticut families who depend on it. \nNo experience needed — just bring yourself (and your family or friends). This is hands-on work that makes a real difference.
