The following vegetables may be planted due to their climate suitability and the potential of high yield that can be shared with all participants. Some flowers will also be planted in order to attract pollinators. This is not a complete list.
A maximum of forty-two gardeners will be divided into six teams. These teams will take on the responsibility of caring for a section of the garden. The sections will rotate on a monthly basis so that each team experiences the whole garden. Your team leader will facilitate communication and organization so that it is clear which members will water on which days. The team leader will be able to share information pertaining to the plants that are being grown in the section that you are tending.
In addition to caring for the beds, there will be a community work day scheduled each week (days and times tba). These will double as educational times where you will learn by doing the tasks. Some of the topics that will be covered include soil amending, planting, seed starting, mulching, weeding, pest management, plant diseases, composting, and harvesting.
Membership fees per application $145.00 per share (See WCC for payment schedule if you are not able to pay the full amount at one time). Those who wish to donate to the scholarship fund, please indicate that when submitting your payment.
If applying as a family, you will receive one share of food for the whole family. If you would like more than one share, you are advised to make two applications or buy produce from our surplus which will be made available at our farm stand.
Every penny that comes in from fees, donations and produce sales will go back into the garden to build the infrastructure (tool shed, composting structures, tools, improved fencing, etc…). None of the income will go to any individual or group. Also, some of the money coming in will go toward scholarships for those in need of financial assistance.
Your fee will bring you the opportunity to enjoy approximately 26 weeks of food (given optimal conditions) which amounts to $5.50/week. You will also gain education and skills, build friendships and further the aims of a regenerative future.
If you choose to be a member this year, we’re sure that you will benefit greatly. We’re looking forward to working together with you as neighbors. The application can be accessed online, filled out and submitted. The application link is will be posted on the Westside Community Centers website. If you would like the application link sent to you by email please request it to westcommgarden@gmail.com .

In the spring of 2010, the City of Colorado Springs was facing serious budget shortfalls, which created an uncertain future for four community centers. The city invited non-profit organizations to consider partnering with them to keep the community centers open. The Center for Strategic Ministry, a 501(c)(3) that serves as a supporting organization of Woodmen Valley Chapel, submitted a proposal to partner with the city and was awarded a management contract to operate the Westside Community Center. This management agreement is currently in place and the partnership has provided a valuable asset for the Westside neighborhood in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Volunteers from Woodmen Valley Chapel share God’s love as they provide their time and talent in meeting a variety of needs at the Center.
We dedicate this space to Dick Wolf, the man who helped craft the partnership and make the Community Center come to life.
The Westside Community Center is dedicated to loving and serving our Westside neighbors!
The mission of the Westside Community Center is to create community for friends of all ages. Grounded in the principle that everyone is worth of dignity and respect, the Center aims to offer a safe, loving, comfortable, and rewarding environment for everyone who comes through our doors.
