Volunteering & Volunteer Students

We have been invited by Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard assistant director, Stephanie Solomon, to volunteer at one of MHC’s organic gardens (the Crestmont Community Garden) this Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m.  Family and friends are also welcome. 

Here’s a little bit about the MHC gardens:

“MHC’s Community Gardening Program promotes self-reliance by teaching people an economical way to grow healthy food right in their own backyards.   In this innovative program, MHC teaches our low-income patrons the life-skill of organic gardening.  Our patrons plant, tend, and harvest produce that goes directly to the MHC food pantry and to their kitchens.  Over the 7 years of this program, MHC staff & volunteers have raised over 10,000 pounds of organic produce for the MHC food pantry.”

Please e-mail me if you’d like to come, so I can let Stephanie know how many of people to expect. If you plan to drive, let me know so we can organize carpools.
