🥾 Love exploring the outdoors? Help us blaze new trails in Grinnell! 🚴‍♂️🌲

Our Trail Team volunteers have been hard at work designing and maintaining soft trails around Arbor Lake for walking, running, and biking. But to keep expanding and improving our community’s trail system, we need your help!

Whether you are an avid mountain biker, a daily walker, or someone who just loves giving back to the environment, there is a place for you on the team.

🛠️ No experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm and a pair of sturdy shoes. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the summer weather, meet neighbors, and leave a lasting legacy on Grinnell’s landscape.

Ready to get your hands a little dirty for a great cause? Drop us a message or comment below to join the Trail Team volunteer roster! 👇

🍅 Fresh, local, and free for everyone! Welcome to Marvin Garden. 🥬🌻

As one of Grinnell’s "Giving Gardens," Marvin Garden is rooted in the belief that everyone in our community deserves access to fresh, healthy produce. Anyone is welcome to stop by and harvest what they need!

But keeping a garden blooming, weeded, and thriving takes a village. We are looking for volunteers to join us for our weekly garden upkeep sessions:
🗓️ Every Wednesday & Saturday
⏰ 10:00 AM

Whether you have a green thumb or have never planted a seed in your life, we’d love to have you. It’s a peaceful, rewarding way to spend a summer morning.
