Our new garden on Garden Street (actually the corner of Garden and Idaho) at our Benevolence Center warehouse in Peoria.I can't believe this didn't occur to us earlier.
After years of relying upon farmers, gardeners, and grocery stores to give us their surplus produce and being chronically short, our Benevolence Center warehouse that helps the poor became a gardener this year. This way, our own garden can begin supplementing our produce supply.
Director Steve Dunn prayed about it and the Lord sent people with plants, hoes, and know-how. The Lord supplied the water. There's a reason He is called the Lord of the Harvest!
We are having an interesting problem, though. What do we do if people in the neighborhood take the produce off the vines before we harvest them to give to these same neighborhood people? We considered a fence, but doesn't that defeat the purpose? We will just trust that the produce gets to the people it's meant to, either through the proper or improper channels!
