Gardens For Everyone (GFE) helps people grow their own veggies at home by building backyard, raised-bed garden boxes and supporting box recipients as they begin growing food. Volunteers should be comfortable using the tools and lumber needed to make a raised garden bed. Volunteers with this program must also be willing to meet staff at a recipient’s home. We can really use your help! If you are willing to work hard and get a little dirty along the way do not worry about being an expert in building. You learn most everything you need to know by working with staff and experienced volunteers. Bring your own gloves if you have them! Volunteers must be age 16 and older to volunteer with a required ratio of 1 adult to 4 youth. Sign up for a volunteer account and register to help with this awesome program here https://foodshuttle.galaxydigital.com/agency/detail/?agency_id=116465 Please note that all volunteers need to visit the Food Shuttle's volunteer page and sign up there. ***Camden Street and Geer Street Learning Garden are not the address to meet at. Volunteers with this program need to be willing to travel with and meet staff at a recipient’s home.

It was great to have a hands-on opportunity to interact with the participants and feel like it was making a difference."
