The Garden’s mission is to inspire the North American Christadelphian community to share Christ’s love through outreach initiatives that show compassion to our neighbors and provide assistance for their immediate needs. There is much we can do to help alleviate the suffering of those in need. Our time here is short. Let’s make the most of it.
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.
Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back later, I’ll give it tomorrow” when you have it with you now.
Proverbs 3:27-28

Knit2Gether
In January 2021, we launched a virtual knitting project called ‘knit2gether’! For those who enjoy knitting, join us on Zoom as we come together as a group to knit gloves, hats and scarves for the North American homeless.
We’re blessed to be able to provide the resources for these initiatives at no cost to you or your ecclesia. If you’re interested in making a financial donation to help offset some of the expenses, we would be incredibly thankful. Through your generosity, The Garden will continue to share exciting new opportunities to inspire our community to reach out to those most in need. Donations can be made on our donation page or the WCF website.
