The West Port Arthur Community Garden opened in 2019 with the support of Valero and a small group of community leaders that now serve as the West Port Arthur Community Garden Board. With a focus on food insecurities, and the enormous benefit the Garden offers to the community, the United Way of Mid & South Jefferson County entered into a partnership with the West Port Arthur Community Garden Board to help support the growth of the Garden and its impact to the community.

 

"Gardens can grow so much more than plants. A Community Garden grows the Community."

- Janie Johnson, CEO of United Way MSJC
