AME Farm/Garden to address Food Insecurity!
A new initiative of the AME International Health Commission.
We are excited to formally announce the partnership with the Black Church Food Security Network.
All congregations that currently have gardens and/or are looking to plant a garden this year are asked to complete the below Covenant Agreement in order to begin the process of receiving the $500 Seed Grant from BCFSN.
Please complete agreement below at your earliest convenience:
BCFSN will sponsor a Covenant Partner Orientation Zoom meeting and this is mandatory for all gardens who are a part of the BCFSN Network or interested in receiving the $500 Seed Grant. The Session is 90 minutes – there will be a special breakout room for AME Gardens! We will take that time to discuss the partnership and also meet and greet!
***Date and time for the next BCFSN session will be emailed to you.
