Sharing the Bounty (STB) is our community partner program in which we share our congregational offering (1/2 of the basket collected each Sunday) to an organization doing good works in our area. We also occasionally work together to create a service project for them.

Outgrowing Hunger

Nurturing connection to nature, food, and community, Outgrowing Hunger builds and operates community farms and gardens for refugees, immigrants, and people who care about affordable access to real food in Portland and Gresham.

The money we raise will be used to purchase produce from their refugee & immigrant farmers. The fresh veggies will then be incorporated into lunches for the 40-60 low income kids who are participating in the summer camp at Nadaka Park, which is hosted by Play-Grow-Learn. It’s a win-win-win situation.
