El Paseo Community Garden

04/11/2026

Our neighbors César & Ruth are facing the unimaginable. Ruth was recently diagnosed with two forms of cancer, and at 3AM April 11th a driver sped through the community garden and totaled their only car—the one they rely on for her treatment. They live right next to the garden and have always been kind, steady neighbors in our community. Now it’s our turn to show up for them.

100% of donations go directly to César & Ruth.

Please share and support if you can.

This community takes care of each other.

Nuestros vecinos César y Ruth están enfrentando lo inimaginable. A Ruth le diagnosticaron dos tipos de cáncer recientemente, y a las 3AM un conductor atravesó el jardín comunitario y destruyó su único carro—el que necesitan para sus citas y tratamiento. Viven justo al lado del jardín y siempre han sido vecinos amables y presentes en nuestra comunidad. Ahora nos toca estar para ellos.

El 100% de las donaciones va directamente a César y Ruth.

Por favor comparte y apoya si puedes.

Esta comunidad se cuida mutuamente. 💛

We had a beautiful day full of intergenerational connections with the youth from Shedd’s Teen Work-Study and our neighboring Pilsen Satellite Senior Center. The youth did a lovely presentation and demonstrated how to make pico de gallo, a mint lemonade, and seed take home pots with hierba buena seeds. They even provided little cookbooks! We are beyond impressed with the teens with how they have blossomed since their first program day. They loved connecting and exchanging stories with the elders with confidence and ease. We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner and have an impact with these amazing teens!

Stop by the garden Sunday during Stewardship and our Market for a mini cookbook!
