From Pittsburgh-Parishioners of all ages at St. Brendan's Episcopal Church planted a Garden of Hope in the spring, part of the church's year-round effort to support local food banks and homeless shelters.
Behind the Franklin Park church, the garden produces crops that go to Bethlehem Haven in Uptown and the North Hills Food Bank in West View.
Nancy Davis said she and other church members worked to build interest in a program to help people who did not have access to fresh produce. She contacted Vanessa Capozzi, now ministry leader for the Garden of Hope.
“We wanted to ensure that we could provide as much food as possible, and get as many parishioners involved as we could to help our neighbors,” Davis said.
