Catholic Charities is embarking on a community project with Pikes Peak Urban Gardens and Springs Rescue Mission.  We will be building an urban garden where clients of Marian House and Springs Rescue Mission will be developing and tending this urban garden.  The site of the garden, which will be 50′ by 100′, will be located in Dorchester Park in downtown Colorado Springs.

The garden will not only give our clients the therapeutic benefits of working with their hands in the garden, it will restore dignity by having them  involved in this process.   It also address the hunger issue, as the product that is produced can be used at the Marian House Soup Kitchen to help feed the the people who come there everyday.  Currently, more than 600 meals are served most days, with that number increasing substantially beginning around the middle of the month.
