Help people in your community grow their own food! This year, our goal is to build 35 free gardens for people with limited incomes around the Olympia area. We need volunteers to help us build!
We will pick the garden recipients in March and start building by April. Connect with us for more details.
By helping build these gardens, you are directly increasing food access for folks with limited incomes, making a significant difference in people's quality of life. When people have access to grow their own food, this benefits them and their surrounding community. Let's dig in!
