The people of The South Church are a group of individuals committed to the mission of caring for others.

Through the work of the South Church Cares commitee, The South Church donates to dozens of charities throughout the world. The annual budget is in the tens of thousands of dollars each year.

Closer to home, our annual Charity Begins at Home Christmas project involves our entire congregation. This is the time our giving can become personal, helping in a very small but much-needed ways.

In recent years, The South Church has collected electronic for recycling, bicycles for Working Bikes, and, of course, food for local food pantries.

Vegetable Garden
Spring is always eagerly anticipated at The South Church, for it means planting time is almost here! With lots of sun and rich mulch, we create a much-loved, well-tended, organic vegetable garden. Everything we grow here is donated to local food pantries. Each year the South Church donates thousands of pounds of tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, beans, squash, cucumbers and other healthy vegetables and herbs. Many hands work in this garden; last year a dedicated group of young Girl Scouts met weekly to weed the garden. Our members plant and tend the neat, even rows throughout the summer. Harvest time begins in July and continues into September. Our garden has been featured in The Daily Herald for its experimental and environmentally conscious solar powered watering system, graciously donated by Green Garden Eco Solutions. If you're out walking in the neighborhood, stop on by to pick some weeds or pick up some friendly gardening conversation!
