Agape Garden

We’re having a great year at the Agape Garden!  This mission is such a great way to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a very real way!

The Agape Garden has grown in so many ways this year!  Not only have we expanded the amount of land we are using (15,000 square feet), but we’ve also expanded who is contributing to the team. 

The Agape Garden is located at Ankeny First United Methodist Church, but we are so blessed to have other churches involved in this ministry:   Lutheran Church of Hope North Branch, and Our Lady's Immaculate Heart Catholic Church bring much needed manpower and knowledge.

Last year we received an Honorable Mention at the World Food Prize by donating 3,000 pounds of fresh produce. This year is proving to be even bigger!   So far we’ve donated over 4500 pounds of fresh produce to local food banks and homeless shelters.   At times we’ve harvested over 300 pounds in a single day!

Please consider joining this team as we do our part in relieving hunger in our area.
