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.

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!
