We had an enchanting day at the Gifford Lane Art Stroll.
As enduring fixtures of The Grove, both the Gifford Lane Art Stroll and The Pantry hold a special place in the community's heart. The Art Stroll has been a cherished tradition for 26 years, while The Pantry proudly celebrates four decades of service!
The event featured some 50 painters, sculptors, wood workers, potters, photographers, jewelry makers, and other artists, plus two live bands and food vendors, in a celebration of the Coconut Grove community that has become one of the signature events of the year. Artists lined the Lane on both sides, and neighbors, visitors, and families with children and pets filled the street for five solid hours.
Each year, the Art Stroll gives away a percentage of the event’s art, food, and beverage sales to two Grove charities. This year they chose the Coconut Grove Crisis Food Pantry and, following a tradition since the beginning, the St. Alban’s Child Enrichment Center (Head Start) in the Grove’s Village West. Since the beginning of the Stroll, the donations have totaled more than $60,000.

Our great school volunteers
Following a week of daily shopping trips to procure all the items required for the hurricane kits, our exceptional team dedicated their Friday to arranging the items and creating comprehensive packing lists for the following day.
The community came out in force on Saturday, adding extra hands to our dedicated volunteers. Astonishingly, we were able to finish the packing and delivery in just over three hours!
View even more pictures of the day by watching our slideshow on YouTube and while there check out other videos from the Pantry.
Throughout the year, our home at Christ Episcopal Church has been going through renovations.
It hasn't caused our volunteers to miss a single week's delivery however.
From the beginning of the year renovations have been going on.
Volunteers still found ways to provide hot meals when needed.
We joined Christ Episcopal Church in celebrating Father Archer’s 10th anniversary as rector.
We appreciate and thank him for his spiritual leadership and steadfast support of our pantry!
We are proud to be partnering with Compost For Life Miami! We join them in their mission "to provide an alternative to our community when it comes to handling food waste. We want to help others, enjoy life, and leave this world better than we found it for this generation and those to come. We truly believe in the power of humanity, and by making small changes in our daily habits, like composting, we all contribute to a greater cause." Please support this excellent program and visit them online! https://compostforlifemiami.com/
We are happy to announce that we are now recycling our cardboard waste! We are very grateful that one of our volunteers has taken on the challenge of delivering our many empty boxes to a city recycling center every week. We can now add both recycling and composting to our efforts to be good stewards of our environment.
Thank you to all of our volunteers who help ready this load of cardboard for its trip to the recycling center!
