COMMUNITY GARDEN IN MONTGOMERY

A group of business people(some of whom are Christians) who are concerned about Hunger have gotten permission to create a community garden in West Montgomery to help the residents grow fresh and healthy food. They need volunteers to help on some work days coming up! Please pass on information about this to your volunteers and church families. They need a lot of help!


COMMUNITY GARDEN

April 10:

-Building a small 13’ x 25’ structure to collect rainwater from

-Building a small vineyard trellis system

----All of this is wood construction. Will need people who are somewhat skilled in carpentry, and may have the basic tools to build a small shed like structure. Also anyone who owns a bobcat would be greatly appreciated as we hill be getting a bunch of recycled concrete dumped to make paths with.

-Need people to dig footing for our wall that will be painted with a large mural
April 24:

-All plantings will take place. Need people who are interested in gardening. No major skills required. Bring shovels and hand trowels.

-Need people who have worked with masonry to help build an 8’ tall block wall.


           LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED BOTH DAYS.

Ten Ways You Can Serve Greater Montgomery

1. Connect with one of the 6 Cooperative Ministries listed on this blog.

2. Do a neighborhood survey and find out what your community wants and needs.

3. Tithe 1/10 of your garden and give to a family in need.

4. Read to a child at one of the public schools in your area. The administration would love to have you serve.


5. Start an Fellowship of Christian Athletes club at a local jr high or high school.

6. Take gift bags to new neighbors around your home or church with information about the church/community.

7. Adopt a school and be a prayer partner with them.


8. Call Alabama Post/Pre Adoption Connections(APAC-334-409-9477) in Montgomery and find out how you can support adoptive families.

9. Offer to host an ESL or Conversational English class in your church. Someone can come and train your church to teach ESL too.

10. Gather in good condition clothing and take to the centers. Ask Forest Park about their "Good Samaritan Clothing Ministry".
