Volunteer Nights at Franklin Farm Community Garden
Volunteer Nights every Monday & Thursday, 5:30- 7:30 pm
Franklin Farm Community Garden consists of volunteers like you! We grow vegetables for the RI Community Food Bank and local food pantries. Each week we offer Volunteer Nights. These nights are a chance to give back by helping to tend, weed, pick and box vegetables for transport.
Volunteering is a great way to get outdoors and make a difference for your neighbor experiencing food insecurity!
Tasks include: tending the plants as they grow, picking vegetables, boxing and transporting to the RI Community Food Bank and local food pantries!
Please bring a water bottle with you.
No experience is necessary. All ages are welcome. Volunteer as often as you can!
Pick the dates that you would like to help!
