Supplying Fresh Produce to Hungry Families
Our crops feed families in Hilliard, on the Hilltop, and in the central city via Faith Mission and the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. Our mission is to provide fresh produce to supplement the processed food distributed by hunger relief programs.
The 2012 garden season produced over 17,000 pounds of fresh vegetables. After a hot summer drought, God still provided abundant crops, almost 8000 pounds over 2011. Over the last five years, ten or fifteen pounds of seeds were turned into about 39,000 pounds of fresh vegetables. God is supplying an abundance of healthy food from our garden to help needy families.
Helping Hands are Needed
There are many ways you can support the Garden:
- Volunteer: We need help planting, harvesting, weeding, watering, and delivering God’s crops. Contact Kelly Hern, p.hern@att.net if you or your group can help. Join a work party on Saturdays, 8:30 am-noon or Wednesdays, 6:30 pm -sunset. Come when you can and stay as long as you are able. Tools are provided.
- Come to a Bible Study: We have short Bible studies at the garden every Saturday around 10:30 am. Everyone is invited.
- Come to the Prayer Path: Follow our Prayer Path – a set of twelve stations that highlight prayer topics related to the theme of fruitfulness. Each station identifies a number of Scripture passages addressing the topic, to help prompt prayers. The stations are arranged in the pattern of a cross; Bibles are in the bin under the bench at the top of the garden (the east side, by the hill).
- Pray: Ask God to help us increase the quality and quantity of His crops, and to help us do it ways that best show His love.
- Donate: We are accepting monetary donations to help us purchase supplies. Contact Dave Bowersox, dbowersox@ualc.org, about monetary donations.
Planting and Harvesting
Planting begins in early spring and ends in late October. Volunteers get their hands in the dirt planting and harvesting all kinds of vegetables. Everyone is welcome to stop by the gardens at Mill Run and enjoy God's creation.
Thanks to the local nurseries that have donated to the garden and to the many different people who have donated time, talents and treasures to the garden.
