Volunteers

Friends of Portland Community Gardens welcomes your donation of time and skill as a volunteer. There are many ways that we work together: serving on a committee, helping with events, building or improving a garden, helping with technology, newsletters, Produce for People and other events.

 

FPCG, in collaboration with FolkTime is helping rehabilitate a garden in the inner northeast of Portland.  We have plenty of volunteer opportunities that will occur in the fall of 2024 (after the August heat subsides).  Send an email to volunteer@portlandcommunitygardens.org to join in the fun.  Let us know some of your skills (though none are necessary!) so we can plan to use your time well.  We will send updates to keep you informed of workparty dates and times.

 

FPCG holds numerous fundraising and educational events throughout the season. Volunteers are always welcome. A few of the events are:

• Table for FPCG at fairs/festivals/community events

• Be part of a garden work party
