Friendly City Gardens works to fight food insecurity
SUMMARY: FeedingAmerica.org reports 44 million Americans face food insecurity. Friendly City Gardens collaborates with Loaves and Fishes, a major soup kitchen in Northeast Mississippi, to combat this issue in Lowndes County. The garden, a green oasis in Southside Columbus, splits its produce between the Seasons of Columbus retirement home and Loaves and Fishes. Pastor Bo Jeffares emphasizes the crucial role of food, likening it to a battery for our bodies. Future plans include creating a network of gardens to fight hunger. Volunteers can join via Friendly City Gardens’ Facebook page. For updates, follow WCBI News on Facebook and X.
