Randolph County Cultivating Community

05/18/2026

At previous Cultivating Community sessions, a community garden was discussed as something members of our community would like to see. Now, thanks to dedicated volunteers and community support including the Forum of Funders, that has become a reality! Check out RCU's highlight reel from the ribbon cutting!

Cultivating Community is a partnership between Randolph County United, the Community Foundation of Randolph County, and YOU!

We are excited to officially launch volunteer sign ups for the Start With Art Feeding Thinkers Community Garden. This is a collaboration between Start With Art and WCHS Student Cassidy Burk as her Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) for FFA. The garden is located behind the baseball fields at Wi******er Community High School. Please review the available slots below and sign up for one or multiple shifts. We are excited to grow fresh local produce for individuals in need in the Randolph County Community. On the day of your shift, a team lead will be in attendance to guide you through the tasks you will complete during your shift. All volunteers should also complete a background check. Information for that will be emailed to the email listed when signing up. Please DO NOT sign up under team lead, that is reserved for our staff. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to Charlene Wilson [email protected] or Leah Hurd [email protected]. Thank you!
