Beaverton's Giving Gardens (age 10+) *STW 2014*
If you would like to work outside, get a little sun, and help needy families by growing organic vegetables, then we would love to have you come out and volunteer with us. Join our group of fun, family-friendly garden volunteers, experience not required!
We are volunteering in the City of Beaverton's Giving Gardens. All the food grown will be donated to Tualatin Valley Gleaners, Sunshine Pantry and St. Matthews Food Pantry.
Our Saturday shifts will be in the Kennedy Community Gardens, located on the corner of 103rd and Kennedy Streets behind Target. The 3 hour shifts will start at 10:00am and end at 1:00. If you need to leave earlier, please feel free to do so. You will be able to get credit for the hours that you did volunteer.
We will be laying down paths, raking, planting vegetables and flowers, weeding and harvesting. Please bring some gloves and drinking water. The field does not have bathroom facilities, but we are able to use the facilities at retail stores located near by.
This is a family friendly volunteer opportunity, so please feel free to bring the kids along for some great family fun!
If you have any questions about this project or the Tualatin Valley Gleaners, please contact Lisa at hassanz@pacifier.com or 503.810.5472. For more information visit our website http://www.tvggardens.blogspot
Note: Volunteers age 10-12 may volunteer along with a responsible adult.
Volunteers age 13+ are welcome to volunteer on their own.
