Salvation Army Kroc Opens New Community Garden
The Salvation Army in Biloxi, Mississippi, has recently created a new community garden available not just to Kroc members but the entire community.
What was once a barren plot of land near the running track has been transformed into a lush community garden.
Mississippi Farm to School is an organization that connects farmers with schools to bring Mississippi-grown produce into school cafeterias.
The organization partnered with The Salvation Army to create this new community garden and together will help educate others on healthy living.
The grand opening took place on July 9th and featured a garden tour, learning activities and a cooking demonstration for lunch.
The 105,000 square-foot Grand Rapids Kroc Center is all about changing lives together. This place of gathering, growth, and enrichment houses an array of education, sports, faith, and arts programs.
