MISSION
Eli’s Garden of Healing is dedicated to fostering community healing & violence prevention. We exist to serve anyone impacted by violence & develop safer communities.
VISION
We envision a future where compassion, understanding, & community healing prevail over violence.
We aim to transform a Winchester machine gun test firing site into a serene healing garden for anyone impacted by violence, while establishing programs focused on art, nature, and wellness.
Through these initiatives, we honor the memory of 15-year-old Elijah Gomez who tragically lost his life to gun violence on May 9, 2022.
Huge heartfelt thanks to our partners and donors for helping us grow!
