NEW FRIENDS
COMMUNITY GARDEN
Our garden is once again growing
quickly this year. We've already
started donating some of our
produce to ICA!
If you'd like to help, you can offer
your time, your gifts, and/or your
veggie donations for the garden.
Your time can be used for weeding
and harvesting – you can do this at
any time that is convenient for
you. Your gifts help us to maintain
the supplies and materials
necessary to run the garden. Your
veggie donations can be given to
ICA and to our guests at our
Community Meal. Our current
needs are: broccoli, cauliflower,
celery, eggplant, green beans,
melons, onions, peas, potatoes,
root vegetables (beets, parsnips,
turnips, carrots), summer & sweet
squash, and sweet peppers. You
can drop your veggies off at the
Welcome Center at Mount
Calvary. ALL of this means that
we will once again donate several
hundred pounds of produce to the
ICA food shelf. If you would like
to help with our garden, or have
any questions, contact Chris
Anderson at 952-474-8893, ext.
102 or email chris.anderson
