The beauty and divinity of every body transcends backgrounds and beliefs. Every body has inherent worth and value.
We come from different places with different stories.
We celebrate the diversity of our human family and the unity of our call to love and justice.
Different is not less.
Salvage Garden, a Greensboro, NC-based nonprofit, is dedicated to reclaiming the value of every body. Among its branches of service: sensory worship, education and training, and individual and community support.
“Salvage Garden incarnates a genuine sense of hospitality and support to people who come from a wide variety of backgrounds. I appreciate the life lessons the Salvage Garden community provides me. I am challenged in a safe, comfortable environment to learn about and support people very different from me in sexuality, cultural background, and ability. Salvage Garden truly embodies an inclusive, compassionate reaching out to those who are viewed as the least of these in the eyes of the world.”

“I have not been to church in six years and it felt so great to be back in that kind of setting for sensory worship, but with a beautiful twist.”

“Through Salvage Garden, I experience community, collective acceptance, solidarity. At sensory worship, I’m free to move my body and allow my children to be themselves and not worry about disruption or them being perceived as anything but their authentic, age appropriate selves. So as a parent of two under four, the openness of Salvage Garden is very appealing, especially in an isolating and vulnerable time.”
