Victory Garden Volunteers Needed

ORGANIZATION: Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 1 person is interested

The Victory Garden grows fresh produce for food pantries, soup kitchens, and other agencies that feed the hungry in our community. The garden uses hands-on gardening to teach volunteers about fruits, vegetables, gardening skills and the populations that the Victory Garden feeds. We are in need of volunteers to complete garden tasks such as seeding, planting, weeding, composting, mulching, and harvesting. No gardening experience is required and all ages are welcome, but volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
