HOW TO HELP
Individuals and groups can join the work of Faith & Grace Garden by
volunteering or donating equipment or materials. Volunteers are retirees,
church groups, civic groups, students, neighbors and other people who
want to enjoy fresh air and sunshine while helping other people.
Volunteers help with planting, weeding, watering, harvesting and delivering
to the food pantries.
Scheduled work days in the gardens are week days 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
and weekends except Sunday mornings. Food delivery help is needed on
Tuesday and Saturday mornings. However, they will schedule a work
event any time (except Sunday morning) that three or more persons wish
to work.
Individuals can weed or hoe outside of scheduled work times anytime at
their convenience. A typical work event lasts 1 to 2 hours. Donations of
equipment or materials are also helpful from time to time.
Their website has a list of current equipment needs .
