The summer produce is too good... We love to eat at Eden Village, especially the good stuff Mr. James grows in the garden!!!

Did you know that Eden Village is located in a food desert? A food desert is defined as an area that does not have access to fresh produce within a one mile radius. Food deserts impact many people in the US and pose major issues for people trying to navigate public transportation as a way to obtain groceries. Could you imagine having to carry all your groceries onto the bus- or farther than a mile walking?

Our garden has been a huge blessing. It is awesome to have easy access to the freshest, yummiest produce out there! We have been lucky to be able to share our harvest with our neighbors at the Salvation Army, too. Thank you to all the sponsors who make our garden accessible!

A few months ago, this home at Eden Village suffered a major trauma and it has required a complete gutting and renovation of the home. Cheerful construction leader Anthony Asher will soon have expertly returned this home back to allow another chronically homeless person off the streets. We are thankful for our friends at Chadwick Insurance for helping us find the funding to make these repairs.

Eden Village resident Jeff spent the morning with our volunteer maintenance workers Andy and Rob to dig out and gravel fill a drainage area at Eden Village of Wilmington. The entire Eden Village facility landscaping needs are managed by the residents. Work brings dignity and community solves homelessness. Thank you team for keeping Eden Village looking great!

Our Eden Village family is devastated to share that our dear Torrence passed away on this past Monday morning. Torrence was one of our first residents, and over the past three years he has not only made Eden Village his home, but he has made it a welcoming community for so many of our volunteers and other residents. Torrence was a special guy- he knew everyone and always knew what everyone was up to. Torrence dressed better than anyone we’d ever met and kept his home absolutely spotless. He had an eye for detail- no doubt. He was a proud member of local law enforcement, and it seemed like there wasn’t a person in Wilmington who didn’t know him. We are so sad that our friend has passed on. He will hold a special place in our community forever. We are so blessed to have known him and will cherish our memories with him always. ❤️

Details about his memorial service will be announced.

Did someone say cabbage??? We gave our besties next door at The Salvation Army a huge pile of fresh cabbages that were just cut from our garden! We love to share our fresh produce and we know our Salvation Army friends are making some really delicious and nutritious meals for the community which makes the sharing even better.

Thanks for being our friends and neighbors, SA! Can’t wait to try to cabbage 🥬

These two fellas were too cute making bracelets with their fav lady, Laurie! Some people falsely assume that a community like Eden Village is destined to be crime ridden. The truth is, our goofy guys just want to make friendship bracelets in their spare time. Talk about a heart melt! I hope I get a bracelet 🤞
