We have a food pantry on-site at Gage. You can visit by appointment, or contact us to send food home. We can send it with a student, arrange for pick-up in our main office, or make other arrangements.
Our Community Garden is thriving, thanks to our UMR-Master Gardener Jana Frei. Community members are welcome to help tend the garden and use the produce. This month (September), we have been harvesting tomatoes, squash, sage, cilantro, cucumbers, beans, peas, and more. Come check it out!
