🥔 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Help us get potatoes in the ground to fight hunger in Edmonton! 🌱

Join us on Monday, May 26 from 9 AM – 2 PM at Fort Edmonton to support the Edmonton's Food Bank with their annual potato planting. The harvest from this project is a crucial donation that helps feed families across the city.

👩‍🌾 No experience needed—just bring your energy, weather-appropriate clothes, and a willingness to dig in for a good cause.

📩 To volunteer, contact Junetta, our Community Garden Facilitator, at [email protected]

Let’s plant hope, one potato at a time.
