Get your hands dirty to feed the hungry by volunteering at our vegetable garden! Everything we harvest is donated to local food pantries.
We will need some helping hands to start our vegetable plants from seeds. Come out and help lettuce grow!
At our Advocate Good Shepherd Campus, we will begin our regular hours in the garden Monday, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9-11am starting May 1st. Thank you!
