Historic Black church in Jefferson City creates garden to fight food insecurity

JEFFERSON CITY - Quinn Chapel African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church hosted a blessing of its Ramsey Garden Sunday afternoon.  The church is launching a garden to help fight food insecurity. The long-range vision includes using larger sections of the property to make space for an even bigger garden. The vision also includes opening the garden to people in the community and partnering with youth groups and organizations to teach gardening, provide entrepreneurial opportunities and more. We know that the areas some of the neighborhoods around here either have people with lower income, lack of access to transportation, and that the nearest grocery store could be more than a mile away. And so, when we looked at those maps, we saw that we could serve people right here in the community. And, it s a great way for the church to be a part of the community and a part of the neighborhood, Lori Simms, member of the board of trustees at Quinn Chapel, said.
