Community Garden Feeds 200 Families Monthly

When the local food bank faced critical shortages during a difficult season, retired nurse James Chen saw an opportunity to make a difference. He organized his neighbors to transform an empty, neglected lot into a thriving community garden.

Through careful planning and the dedication of volunteers, the garden now produces fresh vegetables and fruits that feed over 200 families each month. The project has not only addressed food insecurity but has also brought the community together, creating a sense of shared purpose and connection.

James's story shows how practical action, combined with community organizing, can address real needs while building stronger neighborhoods.
