Community Garden
Christ First is joining the fight against food insecurity by creating a community garden. We have created 22 plots (4m x 3.7m each) which will be offered to community gardeners to grow fruits and vegetables for their own use. These plots will be assigned by lottery to interested applicants. The lottery is open May 1 - 10, 2025. Applications are limited to one garden plot per household. Successful applicants will be notified by May 12, 2025.
