Nourish Life

Historically, faith communities have fed the less fortunate by organizing food pantries, soup kitchens, and other programs to combat hunger. Recently, faith communities in Lexington, Massachusetts have broadened that work by planting an interfaith garden which is committed to donating the food grown in our garden to the Lexington Food Pantry. 


As people work in the garden they are beginning to realize that growing food in this way also helps us to address climate change.


“When we think about global warming, we think about transportation, we think about how we heat our houses, but in fact, how we eat has just as big an impact on climate change.”  - Michael Pollan, from the film Nourish


About one-fifth of climate change pollution comes from the food industry. That’s more than from all transportation combined.
