As the days grow warmer and spring approaches, Open Arms Mission invites the community to take part in its Adopt-A-Box initiative—an opportunity to dig into something meaningful while giving back in a hands-on way.

The Adopt-A-Box program allows individuals, families, and community groups to adopt a garden box and grow their own nutritious food. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, this initiative offers a rewarding way to cultivate fresh produce, connect with others, and support local food security efforts.

Participants in the program will not only enjoy the benefits of homegrown fruits and vegetables but also contribute to a broader goal of fostering health and hope in the community. Gardeners can take pride in knowing their efforts help nourish themselves and others—truly a grassroots way to make a difference.

The Adopt-A-Box program is hosted at Open Arms Mission’s community garden in Welland and is designed to be educational, inclusive, and accessible to all skill levels. It’s a great opportunity for anyone looking to learn more about gardening, get involved in community building, or simply enjoy a peaceful, productive outdoor activity.
