Dirt to Dish
Dirt to Dish is a hands-on ministry that supports our Food Pantry by helping families grow their own fresh produce at home. Participants receive seedlings and planting supplies to help them grow fresh food. Through simple tools and shared knowledge, Dirt to Dish turns small beginnings into nourishing harvests—bringing food from soil to table with care and purpose.
