Come see the beautiful garden the House of Charity has planted! We are growing tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, herbs, broccoli, onions, and even some flowers. We need your help weeding, watering, fertilizing, and harvesting all throughout the growing season this year. Food harvested will help our kitchen serve hundreds of homeless and transient in our population nutritious daily meals.
We will provide all tools, gloves, and supplies necessary. Day of the week and time of shift very flexible.
