The Charlestown Community Garden aims to create a sustainable solution to hunger by providing fresh produce to local food pantries in the Charlestown, RI and surrounding communities. Using an all-volunteer force, the Garden raises organic fruits and vegetables for distribution to food panties, soup kitchens, the senior lunch program and the Meals on Wheels delivery program. By partnering with the Town of Charlestown as well as local churches, businesses and non-profits, the Garden is also educating the public on organic gardening, nutrition, hunger and sustainability and their interconnectivity within the community. Finally, the Charlestown Community Garden promotes community volunteerism by engaging a diverse volunteer force, ages 3 to 85, of all intellectual and physical abilities in the care and maintenance of the Garden.
