Gilfillan Garden, a SHIM community garden, is a collaborative project of Upper St. Clair High School, Westminster Presbyterian Church, and the Historical Society of USC. Last year, Gilfillan and 12 other SHIM gardens donated over 18,000 lbs. of harvest that was distributed weekly through SHIM's three local food pantries that serve over 3,500 South Hill's families and individuals in need. Many of these individuals are refugees and 35% are children. Our contribution in 2021 was over 3,000 lbs.

The garden is maintained by volunteers that meet every Monday morning at 9:00 a.m. Work usually takes a couple hours and includes planting, weeding, and harvesting vegetables. No gardening experience is required, so if you're interested in joining us or just want to give it a try, please contact Sue Wyble at suewy2@verizon.net.

Support Bags for Those Experiencing Homelessness

Have you ever come across a homeless individual in need and not had any way to help?

QuicKits are bags, designed by the youth of Westminster, filled with essential items like deoderant, water, a toothbrush, and more, put together in a reusable bag.

Fully assembled kits are available to you in the Narthex. Take one to keep in your car to hand out when you cross paths with someone in need. We hope to keep the project running so we also ask that you consider replenishing the bin with fully completed kits for others to pass out.

More information on the project and what is included in the bags can be found in our YouTube video below.
