Community Garden:
The Family Life Center is passionate about city of Canton Ohio. We care about the people who live in our community, and we strive to make this a better place to live. This is why we maintain two large community gardens. We want to teach the local community about sustainability, and what it means to live off of the land. Not only do we teach people how to farm the soil, but we also share the produce with those in need.
