Be an Urban Farmer & Grow Produce for Cupboard Clients
Do you have some extra space in your yard? Help local people in need by growing fresh, healthy vegetables for Food Cupboard clients! We supply the free seeds and plants. Now is the perfect time to start that garden or plant that extra row. Great project for the children too!
Learn more or let us know you’re interested by emailing Food Cupboard Garden Director Jerry DeWitt at [email protected].
Garden Volunteers
Our Food Cupboard gardens once again will start scheduling individuals, families and small groups of volunteers to work (outside) starting April 1.
We ask groups to remain small and distance appropriately. Everyone should wear a mask while in the garden.
Available work days are generally on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Interested volunteers may select the day/time that best meets their schedules. Instructions will be given to volunteers, but on-site supervision generally will not be provided.
Contact Food Cupboard Garden Director Jerry DeWitt at [email protected] to be added to the volunteer sign-up list.
