Next opportunity to volunteer is Saturday, April 20th! Please reach out to Marti Christiansen no later than Saturday, April 13th.
One Saturday a month (usually the third Saturday) from 9:00 AM until Noon, CCOP leads a group of up to five (5) volunteers to help in the Garden of Grace at Fertile GroundWorks in Livermore, which is a community garden that grows and donates produce to Open Heart Kitchen and local food pantries to feed the needy. Fertile GroundWorks also champions locally grown food and facilitates creation and sustainable operation of community, school, and employee gardens.
To learn more about the garden and ways to volunteer, please see their website here: www.fertilegroundworks.org If you would like to volunteer with the group from CCOP, please:
The dates for 2024 are April 20, May 18, June 15, July 20, August 17, September 21, October 19, November 16, and December 21. Volunteering in the garden is a fun learning experience. It is often physical work, but it is interesting and rewarding. One bonus to visiting the garden is that they give away beautiful organic compost. If you are interested, bring your own buckets or bags to fill with compost. Here is some other essential information:
