Get your hands dirty to feed the hungry by volunteering at our vegetable garden! Everything we harvest is donated to local food pantries.
We need lots of helping hands to clean up our vegetable gardens for the season. Maybe you don't have time to help on an ongoing basis but would like to help on a project basis...WE NEED YOUR HELP(Groups Welcome)! Volunteers will be removing plant material, spreading compost, and cleaning and organizing our workspace.
These clean up days will be the last 2 Saturdays in October(weather permitting). If you are interested in volunteering Monday, Wednesday and or Saturday on an ongoing basis please look for the separate volunteer match post. Thank you!
