  OPC
Community Garden For Food Pantry
Supported By: Missions Team Steering
Committee
Its Mission: To assist
The
Kendall County Food Pantry in providing fresh vegetables to low income people in Kendall
County.
Activities:
For the summer of 2011, OPC adopted a plot at the Oswego
Community Garden at 810 Preston Lane, Oswego, IL (behind
the Oswego Park District's South Point facility). We were able to
make several deliveries of tomatoes, squash, zucchini, onions, and
cucumbers even with a late start and abundance of rain. Many thanks to
the following volunteers who assisted with planting, weeding, watering,
and transporting vegetables: Craig and Meghan Shook, Joanne Grzetic and
family, Michael and Pam D’Argo and family, Kent Fleming, Evan and Jenna
Hague, Ted Mathewson, and the OPC Confirmation Class.
Individual Ministry Opportunities: Help in planting, watering,
weeding, and harvesting of vegetables. We may also need help in transporting harvested
vegetables to
The
Kendall County Food Pantry.
Meetings: Meeting(s) to identify tasks to be done and allow
volunteers to specify their preferences and sign up for tasks (e.g. for
watering on certain dates). Then we coordinate by phone and email.
