ACRES OF HOPE
Acres of Hope, a ministry of Grace In Community Church, strives to bring the truth and hope of God to all people by providing healthy food to those in need while exposing the heart of the Gospel through gardening. Working alongside each other towards this common goal, we build real & healthy relationships evoking a sense of community in the Alden, NY and surrounding areas. In addition to being a benevolence garden, Acres of Hope also provides an environment that promotes health and healing through educational opportunities and events. If you have been seeking a place that fosters a true sense of family while being involved in meaningful work that benefits the community, we invite you to come and Grow With Us!
Many hands make light work! We can always use extra hands! To learn about ways to get involved, email us or download a copy of our volunteer application.

FRED FROSCH MEMORIAL WALKWAY

The Fred Frosch Memorial Walkway will lead through the Acres of Hope gardens. This walkway is dedicated to the man remembered for his faith, faithfulness and his incredible passion for Christ. His passion to "walk" a journey of faith was absolutely contagious. It is our hope and desire that as people will walk this path toward the Cross they will be ignited in faith and experience the fruit of a faith-filled life! Engraved "Block of Hope" bricks can be purchased for The Fred Frosch Memorial Walkway. When finished, this poured concrete & brick walkway will be the beautiful focal point of the gardens. It will make its way through garden beds to the site of a wooden cross, which has been hand crafted from pine harvested on the property. Block of Hope bricks can be engraved with your own special message - a unique way to honor and remember family, friends and those you love. Order a Block of Hope brick online below:
