Ways to Volunteer
Garden and Farm Assistance
We are always looking for volunteers to help pull weeds, water gardens, clean the barn, harvest produce and deliver it to our partner organizations or help a gardener out who is in need.
Corporate Volunteer Days
Looking for a way for your office or business team to give back to the local community? We would love to have your team come out for a day at the community garden or farm to prep garden plots, weed, water, or work on pathways this is a great way for the team to get outside and bond together.
Office and Library Assistance
We have a great resource library that is in need of volunteers to help check out and reshelf books, label new books and help with general office assistance.
Event Assistance
Putting on our programs and events takes a lot of work! We are always looking for people to help set up before an event, check people in during the event, and help clean up after the event.
