Emmanuel Community Farm

The Farm was started in 2008 to help feed the hungry in SE Michigan.  It is
run as organically as possible on an acre of land leased from the Emmanuel
Lutheran Church on Lahser just north of 9 Mile Road.  We welcome volunteers
over the age of 8 on Wednesdays 3 to 6 PM and on Saturdays 9 AM to noon during
our open season running from April to mid- November.
All of our harvest is donated to Forgotten Harvest for
distribution to soup kitchens
and food pantries in our area.
Our volunteers are varied, from first-time gardeners who found us
at VolunteerMatch.com to Master Gardeners.

CHORE Program

We help improve living conditions for low income elderly or disabled
homeowners.  Bushes are trimmed, weeds are pulled, beds are mulched, and flowers are planted to spiff up the front yard. 
This allows residents to feel that they are not letting the
neighborhood down and stay longer in their homes.

                                                                                           This program was started on Facebook on
                                                                                                    Nov. 16, 2016.  It's purpose
                                                                                   is to monitor, protect, and enhance natural 
                                                                       
resources at this gem of a City park.

Park Trail Program

We help maintain and provide mapping services
for walking trails in the City's parks.  We hope to provide interpretive
signage at Evergreen Woods Park this year.

Community Pride

The Club awards "Fine Place Awards" to outstanding places in Southfield.
We also cosponsor and help judge the "Community
Pride Awards" program. 
Our very special contribution is the annual "Southfield Garden Walk", which
we put on to showcase fine homes and give participants the opportunity
to view garden art, annuals, perennials, trees and
                                          shrubs used in varying conditions
