Project Description

We invite our Grand Traverse Area Spartan alumni, friends, and families, along with MSU Extension Master Gardeners, to please join Our Neighbors’ Garden community volunteer team!

Join your fellow Spartans for just a single day or as often as you may wish during May, June, July, August and September 2024

Our Neighbors’ Garden (ONG) team members help plant, tend to water and weed, and harvest a variety of fresh and healthy produce, delivered daily by Food Rescue, to more than 75 local food pantries and community meal sites that serve our many neighbors and families in need.

If you would like to learn more about becoming an ONG community volunteer, or may wish to join the ONG team, we invite you to please contact…
