Go Green!

Feed the Hungry

Volunteer to help out in Emmanuel's Emergency Food Center.
Volunteer to help out at The Outreach Community Garden.
Volunteer to help out with City Streets Project.

For the past 30 years, Emmanuel's Food Center has helped feed over 60 families a month through  staples and other non-perishable items donated by members of the parish and community. Now our Missions and Environmental Stewardship Committees have teamed up to create The Outreach Community Garden of Emmanuel (OCGE) which will provide fresh produce to supplement and enrich the diet of Food Center clients.

This community effort will reach to our eldest and youngest participants to make sure everyone of our neighbors can receive the proper nutrition our bodies need!

Many thanks to Kuhn Construction and Webster-Rock Hill Ministries for what we were able to create:  Three new raised vegetable beds that will hold a bounty of food!
