Thank you to all who joined us in making our recent community Garden Day event a meaningful celebration of growth, connection and purpose.

With your generous support — whether as a sponsor, supporter, neighbor, patient, associate, or community partner — you helped us nurture more than just our Community Garden. Together, we’re planting seeds of food security, sustainability and shared hope. Your presence and participation are proof that when a community comes together, lasting change takes root.

We are grateful to our sponsors for supporting our Garden Day Open House, which was a great success with more than 150 people in attendance throughout the day:

Anthem Blue Shield
Athens Services
Dake Landscape
