New Hope AME Zion Church
New Hope AME Zion Church has been a Share partner since 2022, and since summer 2023 they’ve been expanding their reach even more through their on-site community garden. Garden volunteers grow produce—like cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, and melons—that is then distributed at New Hope AME Zion’s pantry.
“I recently visited New Hope AME Zion and Rev. Eugene Branham gave me a full tour of the site. He expressed he was originally very unfamiliar with gardening—he grew up in South Philly and only knew of concrete on the ground. He decided to get the ground dug up in the back of the church and have members of the church participate in gardening and create some raised beds. Now he plans to expand the land even more after seeing the positive impact the garden has done for visitors as well as the volunteers who run the site.”
