The gardens are grown entirely by volunteers. The garden sites, seeds, and garden plants are donated, as is the manure used for fertilizer. Local farmers help with the plowing, harrowing, and corn planting. The planting, maintaince, harvesting, and distribution of produce are done by volunteers. The produce from the gardens is distributed to needy families.
Volunteers working in the garden also reap some of the harvest.
Our major goal with garden projects is to teach people to grow their own food while protecting our environment from harmful chemicals. Square-foot gardening is also taught, for people with limited space for growing produce. Feed God's Children , Inc. sponsors a coat drive each winter for needy people. Used coats or cash donations are given, and coats are distributed to those in need, along with hats and gloves. Feed God's Children , Inc. also takes used furniture, appliances and clothing, and routes these items to people who need them.
