Are you a devoted gardener? A green thumb extraordinary?
Over the years Oaks Pioneer Chapel has relied on local volunteer gardeners to help us maintain the chapel grounds. Recently, our long time volunteers are struggling to be able to continue supporting us in this valuable way.

Would you or someone you know have a few hours a month to volunteer, visit and lend us your gardening skills and expertise?
Please reach out to our Director of Operations, Chris Timberlake, with an email ([email protected]), FB message or call (503-233-1497)
