Killeen Community Service Garden 2022

The Killeen Municipal Court has a Community Service Garden located behind the Civic Center on South W.S Young Drive. It may be difficult for younger teens to find an eligible agency to work their
court-ordered hours, due to their young age. For this reason, eligible defendants can be assigned to work at the garden. Community Service takes place each Saturday morning for three (3) hours and involves light garden work.
Teen defendants are overseen by staff from the Municipal Court and work alongside volunteers from The Bell County Master Gardeners Association.
The defendants and volunteers work together, planting, harvesting and weeding garden beds. Produce grown here is donated to local non-profit organizations, such as the homeless shelter, domestic violence shelter and various food pantries.
During 2020 over 6,000lbs of produce was donated to those people in need.
