Volunteers are welcome to help plant, cultivate and harvest vegetables anytime in food bank gardens, after checking with Garden Managers. Volunteer help is needed especially on Wednesday mornings 7:30 – 9:00 am and Saturdays 9-11 am to harvest and help deliver fresh produce to the Port Townsend and Tri-Area Food Banks.  Volunteers are encouraged to harvest weekly produce for their families from these gardens too. Contacts for each garden are listed below. Please call for more information.
