Gardening is "in" - We're riding the wave!

NWPM inspires volunteers from neighborhood congregations and the larger community to help neighbors live with dignity and purpose. We provide food, recreation and helping hands and opportunities to engage with one another. Learn more at http://nwpm.org or visit our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Northwest-Portland-Ministries-Inc/165944060093818

In this video from July 1, 2011, our Community Garden Project Lead, Dan Currin walks us through the garden beds - our first ever urban community garden! Fresh produce grown from our garden will supplement our food supplies for our food programs serving the Northwest Portland community. Learn about those at: http://nwpm.org/Food-Needs.aspx and come volunteer! http://nwpm.org/Volunteer.aspx.
