In order for the Shalom Park Community Garden to grow and thrive, we depend on funding to support Garden Coordinator salary, plant and ground cover purchases, and garden maintenance.
Help Fight Food Insecurity
Shalom Green invites gardeners to share their abundant harvests through our new initiative Project Pe'ah Forward. Gardeners can bring excess produce from their home garden to Shalom Park and Shalom Green volunteers will bag and label it for donation to the Jewish Family Services’ Food Pantry.
