Since the summer of 2018, the St Greg’s Gardeners – part of the Social Action Committee - have been supplying fresh produce to the West Warwick Senior and Community Center (WWSCC). The WWSCC is a hub in the community that runs a food pantry and serves hot meals six days a week for seniors, Veterans and families on WIC.

St. Gregory parish has long been a friend to West Warwick. We have held clothing drives and seasonal/holiday food collection drives for years. We also hosted the memorial service for the Station Nightclub Fire victims. Our Community Garden continues this legacy of service.

Our Community Garden is located on church grounds, next to the softball field. (Feel free to visit, anytime!) We plant over 20 raised beds of a variety of vegetables and do our best to keep them producing from spring through the fall, typically delivering over a half ton of vegetables each year. That is a LOT of greens!

We are a small, but dedicated and very collegial group of volunteers – but we long for more! (Experienced gardeners – what are you waiting for?) Mentors are readily available to pair up with beginning gardeners for this great, hands on learning opportunity. Young (as young as 4 years old) and old (no limit!!) alike are welcome.

Please consider joining our ranks. If interested in learning more about volunteering or donating lightly used garden tools or what-have-you – please email [email protected].
