The Capital Area Food Bank Urban Demonstration Garden creates an opportunity for volunteers to participate in the mission of the food bank in new and exciting ways. Volunteers will play a crucial role in building and growing the garden. This project will include a wide variety of tasks associated with creating the infrastructure of the garden like digging, building, painting, planting and getting your hands dirty. This is a great opportunity for individuals and groups interested in volunteering outside and in helping to bring the food bank garden to life!
