We’ve updated our SignUp Genius link to include family friendly, all ages volunteer opportunities in both our Garden and ReStock team.

Garden volunteers help plant, weed and harvest under supervision of our lead/master gardeners.  The ReStock teams serves after the food pantry closes and focuses on restocking shelves, sorting inventory, and recycling.

Do you have a large group that would like to serve together?  Please contact Melissa to schedule a mutually convenient date & time.

The dates and times can be found on our SignUp link HERE.

May 31, 8am – Noon :: A BIG DAY OF SERVING

Gather up you friends and join us for a fun morning of serving at Waukee Area Christian Services. Saturday, May 31 8am-Noon. Two big projects: hanging drywall and planting the garden.

 

HELP HANG DRYWALL

Yes, we are still working on the drywall in the lower level. This time we are really going to get it done, but we can’t do it without your help. Can you spare a few hours? Join us May 31, 8am – Noon.  Bring your drywall tools (if you have them) and we’ll provide the donuts, coffee and instructions!

 

HELP IN THE GARDEN

A great place to serve as a family! All ages welcome. This will be our BIG PLANTING day – May 31, 8am – noon. The day we get everything planted and ready for the season. Along with planting, we have a few maintenance projects that need to be tackled: stain the shed, fix shingles, and hang gutters. There may even be a weed or two to pull. Bring your favorite garden gloves and we’ll provide the rest! Including donuts and coffee!

VOLUNTEERS needed SUNDAY, NOV 10, 1:30 PM.

It’s time to put the Garden to bed for the winter. Putting the garden to bed simply means getting rid of the mess, cleaning up what’s left, packing away the things you won’t need until spring and making sure everything is ready to go when you need it.

If you can spare some time this SUNDAY, NOV 10, please stop by the Garden to lend a hand. All ages welcome!

93 Degrees in the Garden

By Melissa
Wednesday, July 17th, 2013

93 degrees today — the heat didn’t stop the Waukee Youth in the Parks summer program group from serving in the Garden. The 13, 6th-8th graders were real troopers. They spent almost two sweaty hours weeding, watering, harvesting and hauling mulch! Thanks to their work we have lettuce, radishes, beets and onions ready for clients tomorrow! and thanks to the mulch move, strawberries and asparagus will soon be planted. Have we mentioned lately — we LOVE the youth that serve! THANKS TO EACH OF THEM for being a blessing!
