Three programs allow participants to grow fresh produce, be physically active, increase skills and self-esteem and support Oregon Food Bank. Programs include,

Dig In!

Community members help fight hunger by volunteering to grow wholesome, organic produce to be distributed at hunger-relief agencies in the Portland area. Individuals and groups are welcome. No prior gardening experience is necessary.
