Creation Care
Tending God's Earth Through Education, Advocacy, and Mobilization
The Good Earth Project
Recycling food and other organic waste into compost provides a range of environmental benefits, including improving soil health, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, recycling nutrients, and mitigating the impact of drought. In October 2021, Neighbors 4 Neighbors partnered with Desert Compost to create the first community composting partnership in the Coachella Valley. Since the start of the operation, we have successfully diverted nearly 29,000 pounds of organics that would have otherwise ended up in the landfill.
"The Comm-Unity Garden"
In Christ, God longs to knit all people and creation back into wholeness and relationship. This Garden is a space for people, creatures, and earth to live in Unity, just as God intended. It was developed and is tended by community volunteers and all are welcome.

Campus Care
Reduce | Reuse | Recycle
These three 'R's are an important part of sustainable living. They help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw away which minimizes the amount of space needed for landfill sites. It's Really simple!

- Where does our compostable material come from? Our material is mainly generated from food waste in our Neighbors-4-Neighbors food pantry program, as well as donated compostable materials from volunteers and community members.
- Where does our finished compost go? Our finished compost is used in the St. Margaret's Unity Garden & Rose Garden, as well as, at other places in the community such as the College of the Desert Children's Center Garden.
- Can I buy some "Good Earth" compost for home? Absolutely! For a small donation, we can get you some Good Earth! Compost available now!
