The YMCA has recently been awarded a grant to help us refresh our playground, community garden an outdoor space behind the Providence YMCA. We have the funds and now we need community support to help us make the needed imporvments to our community space.
Volunteers are need to help with a variety of tasks: planting new vegetables in the community garden, pulling weeds, cleaning the back yard area, painting, spreading mulch and building new raised beds!
Children under the age of 13 need to have an adult with them at all times.
Please wear clothes that you are okay with getting dirty in and close toed shoes you can walk in.
If the weather is bad we will move the workday and volunteers will be notified the day before.
You do not have to be at the work day from 10-4. You can work shifts and help with the tasks you would like to do.
Please make shifts in 2 hour increments. You are welcome to work more than one shift. (i.e. 10-12, 12-2, 2-4)
Tools will be provided however, if you have your own gardening gloves or small tools you would like to use feel free to bring them just know you are responsible for them getting back to you.
Volunteers will be provided with water and snacks while working.
