  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.
