Faith Communities Go Green is hosting Green Umbrella to introduce a powerful new effort to make our tri-state region increasingly sustainable, resilient, and healthy. In late July, Green Umbrella will launch the 25 Communities Project, a regional cohort of communities working together to reduce pollution and strengthen resilience. Join us to learn how community advocates can help their local governments discover the power to protect their communities and save money by developing and implementing sustainability plans.

Speakers: Ryan Mooney-Bullock, Executive Director of Green Umbrella and member of the Faith Communities Go Green Steering Team, and  Bamidele Osamika, Green Umbrella’s Regional Climate Collaborative Manager,  will include an overview of the technical assistance Green Umbrella provides to local governments, a success story, and specific ways that you and your congregation can help engage elected officials and public sector staff. The 25 Communities Project is an unprecedented opportunity to benefit your neighbors and the entire planet by adopting clean energy and energy efficiency, and reducing exposure to air pollution, dangerous heat, and flood damage.

Please attend to learn the critical role that faith communities have in this endeavor.

Hamilton County Resource is excited about the opportunity to meet in person with leaders from faith community organizations in Hamilton and surrounding counties. They want to know if houses of worship would like to partner in their new, green, waste reduction project to divert residential and commercial food scraps from the landfill. To achieve this, Hamilton County Resource is initiating a regional approach to composting infrastructure with locations across the counties along with conveniently located facilities to boost participation from residents and businesses. They welcome involvement of houses of worship and other organizations to participate as public-private composting facilities throughout the region. Your participation and input are vital to the success of this initiative.

There are many preliminary evaluations and approvals necessary to identify sites that will be explained the in-person March 5th meeting.

To gain a better understanding of the project, how they got to this point, and what’s next, PLEASE watch the 30-minute webinar from February 12th

The Community Harvest Garden at Christ the King Lutheran Church in West Chester is entering its second year. We would like to invite YOU to join us in helping to feed our community.
The Community Harvest Garden includes the large Shared Harvest bed in which we grow produce for local food pantries. We also have smaller garden beds which people can “adopt’ to grow their own food.
No experience is needed! We are a teaching-garden and have experienced gardeners to guide novices through the growing process. Everyone is welcome to participate and to share their talents and learn new skills. Volunteer gardeners are needed to help with planting, maintenance, and harvesting in the Shared Harvest bed. Experienced gardeners are welcome to join us as a “gardening partner” to those who may need assistance in their adopted bed.
There will be a COMMUNITY HARVEST GARDEN 2022 INFORMATION NIGHT on Wednesday, February 9 at 7 pm. This meeting is for everyone interested in learning more about the garden and how they can get involved to grow food for themselves and our community. Join us in person at Christ the King Lutheran Church (7393 Dimmick Road, West Chester) or on Zoom (register at https://bit.ly/gardeninfo22).
