New Addition to Veggie Village

Veggie Village received a beautiful gift recently when Gold Award Candidate Ellen Crawford, an Interfaith All-Star Volunteer, built a sensory walkway and living teepee for the Wendtwoods Park location. Interfaith is thrilled to present children with an additional, tactile learning experience with the new sensory walkway. The new living teepee also gives visitors a place to read or experience nature, with vines to attract pollinators like butterflies. Thank you, Ellen, and congratulations on completing your Gold Award Project!

Each month Interfaith's Food Pantry feeds nearly 1,500 individuals. In addition to serving the families that visit Interfaith every day, the Interfaith Food Pantry also serves home bound Seniors. Volunteers help package and delivers groceries to 185 Seniors in the senior complexes once a month.
