TKCC Community Garden

  The TKCC still maintains a close relationship with the neighborhood organization known as the Ideal Beach Community Association (IBCA). The IBCA enjoys helping out whenever they can to get the word out about the events at the TKCC.The IBCA truly understands that the TKCC is an asset of the neighborhood as they host their monthly meetings at the TKCC.
 
 Every day, the TKCC staff and Open Recreation participants check in and water the garden. In addition, they also check to see if anything needs to be done. And if there is anything that is ready to be harvested, we collect and clean. The TKCC plans to donate their crops to Middletown Helps its Own. Middletown Helps Its Own was organized in 1964 to help the Township’s needy families. It is a great way to see Middletown Residents/Township staff helping other Middletown Residents in need.
 
 Middletown Township fully funds the maintenance of the garden at the Tonya Keller Community Center.
