Grassroots Gardens WNY - Gardening; Repair Farm Stand; Litter Removal

Get Connected Icon Happens On Jun 17, 2026
Get Connected Icon 1-4pm

Description

 We would like to host Day of Caring United Way volunteers at our Resource Center Garden, where we host our gardeners for meetings and use it as a hub for materials distribution for our network of 117 gardens.

Volunteers will help repair our farm stand, which was damaged this winter, so we can better distribute fresh produce to the Pratt-Willert neighborhood, and will also assist with general garden upkeep/repairs to support our elderly gardeners.

This will include basic construction with wood, gardening, weeding, trimming, and litter removal.

Inclement Weather Plan: It is partially weather dependent - the farm stand can be built inside of need, or outside if the weather is nice. Extra tasks like weeding and bed repairs can be replaced with indoor tasks like painting benches/tables if needed.
