Congregations open up their buildings to serve children, the hungry, the homeless and others in need. Sacred places stabilize neighborhoods, strengthen commercial districts and significantly add to the economic health of our communities. All of this is endangered, however, when congregations can no longer afford to maintain these aging buildings. Partners has developed a family of highly-acclaimed resources to help congregations connect better to their communities, raise capital funds in new ways and preserve their historic building for future generations. We are the nation's only non-sectarian, nonprofit organization dedicated the sound stewardship and active community use of America's older religious properties.

The Learning Garden-Feeding the hungry while educating the community!

Partners' staff had a fun morning at the The Learning Garden in Fort Worth. Ridglea Christian Church has teamed up with Tarrant Food Bank and Archie's Gardenland to build this community garden and classroom. It features a variety of gardening models such as in-ground, raised bed and container gardens, as well as a compost corral, a library, and gathering spaces for workshops and events. They are donating produce harvested to nearby food pantries. They are on a mission to feed the hungry and educate the community!
