At one time, the Redeemer apartment windows looked out over a trash-strewn piece of back alley property. Today it is a community garden that has become the symbol of hope and healing that defines the Redeemer community. People come together in collaboration, sharing their culturally diverse practices around growing food, the different foods these ethnic groups eat and how they prepare them. In the end, they come together to share more than food—they share a part of themselves over the weekly meal prepared from the bountiful garden-fresh produce. The door is always open to anyone who’d like a seat at the table; cultivating a spirit of community that began with the seeds of spring.
