Community Garden
Growing food and community together
Cultivating Nourishment
Our Community Garden is more than a place to grow food — it's a space where neighbors come together to cultivate fresh produce, learn sustainable practices, and strengthen community bonds.
Across 15 garden boxes, neighbors and volunteers grow a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs that help support our Food Pantry and nourish individuals and families across Jefferson City.
Coming soon: We are building a greenhouse!
I learned a lot about how to garden, what to garden, what not to garden with what, but it's not just the garden; it's the people that are there.
A Season of Growth
Every pound of food grown and every pound of waste composted represents our commitment to a healthier community and a healthier planet.
The garden has also become more than just a space for growing food; it's become a space where we can laugh and share stories.
Earth Day 2026
We were honored to partner with SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital – Jefferson City for a morning rooted in service, stewardship, and care for creation. Together with staff, students from Helias Catholic High School, and dedicated volunteers, we rolled up our sleeves for hands-on projects — planting rose bushes and trees, building raised garden boxes, and beautifying our campus to support fresh food access for our community.
We closed the morning with a special blessing of the Community Garden, a meaningful reminder of our shared call to care for God's creation and one another.
St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!
