Questions

Before your first visit.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just a bag if you have one. We don't ask for ID, proof of income, or an address on your first visit.

How often can I come?

Once a week for groceries, and every Thursday for dinner. Emergencies are always an exception. Just tell the front desk.

Can someone pick up for me?

Yes. Send a neighbor or family member with your name and household size.

Do you have halal, kosher, or allergy-friendly food?

We keep a labeled shelf for each, and volunteers can help you find what fits your diet.

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.

Your seat is already saved.

Come to Thursday dinner once. That's all we ask. You'll know what to do after that.
