Our clothing closet opened in the fall of 2013 and is open during food pantry hours. Clients may browse in the closet and take clothing at no cost. Donations of 'like new' items are accepted.
The clothes closet is open the same hours as the St. Francis Food Pantry and is located in the same location.
The garden produces vegetables and berries for the St. Francis Food Pantry as well as for other nonprofits in the area.
Parishioners and volunteers from the local community contribute time and talent to this project. We have a knowledgeable and skilled group of volunteers from the parish that plan the garden, grow vegetable starts and now work in the garden on a weekly basis. Girl Scout troops from Tigard and Sherwood helped build raised beds, plant a children’s garden and make garden signs and art. This spring, a Sherwood Girl Scout troop is building a shed for us to securely store our tools!
Community donations made the garden fiscally possible. We received a grant from the Oregon Food Bank and donations from Grimm’s Fuel, Bark Blowers and the Nike Community Garden.
Feel free to stop by and check out the hard work at the Hope Garden. We always welcome new volunteers! Volunteers are needed to harvest and help with watering. Contact Bobbi Fallon if interested.
