Soul Food 

  
We are going to be planting a vegetable garden here on the church property in the coming weeks.  A site has been selected, and we are in need of some help in prepping the ground prior to planting, if anyone has a tractor with a scrapper blade that you could clear off the 50' x 100' area this would get us started.
  
Please contact Wayne Barrios 985-789-8303 who is our Garden Coordinator. More details and info about the garden are to follow.
