Adopt a Week! Help care for the Woodbury Community Foundation's dedicated community garden plot, where fresh produce is grown and donated to Open Cupboard. Volunteers assist with ***planting, watering, weeding, harvesting produce throughout the growing season. *** This project is separate from Community Garden planning or committee leadership roles and focuses on maintaining our food donation plot. This work directly supports families experiencing food insecurity while strengthening our community. WCF's community garden has grown significantly in recent years and now includes 96 in-ground plots, with produce donations supporting Open Cupboard. Your shift is responsible for care of the plot for the assigned week.
