Since June 2007, The Church of Our Saviour has been partnering with Georgia Organics by providing office space for the nonprofit organization. Georgia Organics’ mission is to integrate healthy, sustainable and locally grown food into the lives of all Georgians. Georgia Organics is also working with Church of Our Saviour’s Garden Guild to develop some edible landscape educational plots that will be visible to pedestrian traffic in the Virginia Highland business district.
Georgia Organics also hosts a weekly community supported agriculture (CSA) drop location with Moore Farms and Friends to offer residents weekly boxes of farm fresh produce. To learn more about signing up for the CSA, contact Laurie Moore at 256-449-9417.
Georgia Interfaith Power & Light is a non-profit organization that engages faith communities in environmental stewardship, with a specific emphasis on energy issues. They offer programs and resources ranging from energy audits of congregational space and an online shopping cart with energy efficient products to educational programs on the theological basis of creation care and resources for incorporating environmental themes into worship services.
Their website offers information about all their programs, as well as announcements about upcoming events and trainings, tips for getting individuals, households, and congregations involved, and a link to ShopIPL, their online shopping cart. Visit them at www.gipl.org/home for information about how you can put your faith into action by caring for creation.
