Prince of Peace Community & Unity Gardens Partnership

Introduction

At Prince of Peace, we believe in building strong communities by connecting people through shared interests, faith, and service. In our partnership with Unity Gardens, we celebrate a vision where healthy food, education, and fellowship come together to nurture both body and spirit. Our goal is to invite local community members to experience the warmth and support of our church while exploring initiatives that promote wellness and sustainability.

About Unity Gardens

Unity Gardens is a community-focused nonprofit that originated in South Bend, Indiana. Their innovative free pick garden model provides access to fresh produce at no cost, while also offering educational programs on gardening, nutrition, and sustainable living. Beyond being a source of healthy food, Unity Gardens creates welcoming spaces where diverse groups can come together, share experiences, and grow together.

Our Mission

Prince of Peace shares a commitment to community health that mirrors the mission of Unity Gardens. We strive to:

• Enhance Physical Health: By supporting initiatives that increase access to nutritious, fresh produce and promote healthy eating habits.
• Foster Social Connections: By creating inclusive environments where individuals and families from all walks of life can connect, learn, and support one another.
• Strengthen Economic Well-Being: By nurturing local partnerships that help build a sustainable food system and create opportunities for community engagement.

Programs & Events

Unity Gardens offers a range of programs designed to educate and engage the community, including:

• Free Pick Gardens: Enjoy seasonal produce available at multiple locations, free of charge.
• Educational Workshops: Attend free classes on topics such as gardening techniques, nutrition, food preparation, and sustainable living.
• Community Gatherings: Participate in events like potlucks, wellness programs, and hands-on workshops that encourage interaction and collective growth.

At Prince of Peace, we are proud not only to support these initiatives but also to host our very own Unity Garden located right next to our church. This garden serves as a local hub for fresh produce and community engagement, reinforcing our shared commitment to healthy living and community fellowship.
