Translate

Volunteer crews
340 neighbors. One Saturday at a time.
Crews sort donations, stock shelves, and run check-in. Most people start with one shift and never really leave.
Volunteering
Everything you'd ask on day one.
Shifts are three hours. No experience needed. We'll pair you with someone who's done it a hundred times.
How old do volunteers need to be?
14 and up on your own, any age with a parent. The garden is the best place for little ones.
Can my company or church come as a group?
Yes. Saturday mornings fit groups of up to 20. Book at least two weeks ahead.
Do I need a background check?
Only for kids' garden programs. We cover the cost and it takes about a week.
Can I count hours for school?
We sign service-hour forms for every school in the district.
Or stop by the front desk any weekday.
