Description:At A Glance
A community garden now
produces more than 500 pounds
of produce each week for lowincome
families and homebound
older adults in Roanoke Rapids,
NC. Park Baptist and Calvary
Baptist churches partnered with
NC Cooperative Extension and
Health Matters, a CDCfunded
program, to increase education
and access to healthy eating and
physical activity. Through this
collaboration, 1 acre of church
property was converted into a
garden to provide fresh fruits
and vegetables to residents,
including clients of a nearby
food pantry, Angel’s Closet.
