Helping to Heal Through Gardening God's Way

  • As a non-profit organization founded by veterans, we comprehend the challenges of transitioning to civilian life after service. With the contributions of Dave Culley, Anthony Lunghi, Erica Wacaster, and other supporters, we have established the first of many gardens at Veterans Haven North. These gardens will provide residents and staff with an uncomplicated, cost-effective gardening approach to cultivate healthy food and pass on gardening skills to others. The healing power these gardens offer to veterans and staff is profound and uplifting. Working with one's hands, alongside others, in the soil brings a sense of comfort and tranquility. To fully grasp the impact of this program, it is essential to understand the experiences and journeys of our veteran community.
  • Join us as a volunteer to support veterans, contribute, learn, and exchange experiences.
  • Joining us as a volunteer means becoming a vital part of our mission to support veterans in their transition to civilian life. By offering your time and skills, you can make a meaningful impact on our community. Working in the gardens at Veterans Haven North will not only allow you to contribute to the cultivation of healthy food but also provide you with the opportunity to learn valuable gardening skills that you can pass on to others. The healing power of these gardens is undeniable, offering a sense of peace and connection as we work together with our hands in the soil.
  • As we continue to grow and expand our gardening program, we invite you to be a part of this journey. Your support, dedication, and willingness to learn and share experiences will not only benefit our veterans but also enrich your own life in ways you never imagined. Together, we can create a nurturing environment that fosters growth, healing, and community. Join us today and be a part of something truly special.
