SAHA will be working to clean and build a new community garden for SAHA’s low income families living in Oakland, CA on May 4th 2018. The garden build begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP here if you are interested: https://sahahomes.galaxydigital.com/event/detail/?event_id=44813.
SAHA is seeking volunteers to assist with the build. No garden build experience is required. This is a great opportunity if you are interested in growing and supporting a sustainable garden while helping seniors connect and strengthen their community. Volunteers must be able to lift bags of soil, mulch, or other necessary items for the garden.
All volunteers must complete volunteer forms and confirm with the volunteer coordinator before attending.
