Sustainability efforts
The COLA Victory Garden opened in June 2010 and was sponsored by Thomson-Reuters. The garden serves as a learning environment for individuals participating in diversion programs and local programs supporting at-risk youth, providing opportunities to develop valuable, marketable skills.
Located on an acre of land at 10832 Bellefontaine Rd., St. Louis, MO 63137, the garden provides a peaceful atmosphere where youth can connect with and respect their environment through sustainable practices, including recycling. Participants also learn how to properly grow, harvest, prepare, and enjoy healthy, chemical-free vegetables.
The produce grown in the garden is not sold. Excess produce is donated to the Grass Roots Food Pantry for community distribution. The Victory Garden encourages entrepreneurship, responsibility, and a commitment to serving others.
Through renewable energy and Brightergy's Solar Lease program, we have found a way to help with our utility costs, as well as make an environmental impact.

COLA not only seeks to improve the lives of individuals within the community, but also the environment where we live, work and provide service. Check out the ways we sustain the St. Louis community below.
