Preakness Bible Church Awarded Community Garden Grant

WAYNE, N.J. – Preakness Bible Church received a $500 grant from City Green to help foster neighborhood farming and community garden programs.

City Green distributes the grants to help plant community gardens in urban and suburban areas as part of its “Dig In” program.

“People want to eat fresh and organic food, but sometimes eating healthy can be too expensive for people,” Freeholder Director Theodore Best. “These community gardens beautify our community and produce food that is healthy, they provide that food to the families that need it most.”

The “Dig In” program was created in 2014 and provided funding to 43 different garden programs since its inception.
