Join us in the pantry garden. Your help is needed. Mark your calendar and R.S.V.P. today via our calendar for a 2-hour shift. Volunteers can also work on their own schedule separate from group events.

Garden Update: We are now in a phase of harvesting vegetables, watering, and light weeding. This is a crucial stage as vegetables need weed-free space and need to be harvested on a specific timetable. Our goal is to provide fresh, not rotten vegetables to the three pantries we support-Oregon, Belleville, and Verona.

With enough volunteers, we can expand into a second season crop of cool weather vegetables. Last year’s crop was a tremendous success.

Work is seasonal and dependent on the weather and conditions. The garden will close for the season around November 1^st.

APF will provide orientations and all equipment. Feel free to bring your own equipment.

Any inclement weather decisions are made at the garden (805 Union Road), just before the start time. Dress for the weather and wet/dry conditions. Leather shoes and gloves are recommended.

After having to cancel the event in 2022 due to weather, we are excited to host this event again this year.
The annual event is a community favorite. Over 750 people attended this fun, family, event, in 2021.

The event includes a variety of activities.
A 3/4 mile hiking trail through the Arthur Sholts Memorial Woods and Prairie will be lit with tiki torches and luminaries.
A bonfire is located in the Sholts picnic area. Limited snacks and beverages are available at no cost.

The event is co-sponsored with the Oregon Area Wellness Coalition.  We partner with local organizations as well. The local boy and girl scout troops provide volunteer help with set-up and clean-up. Sponsorships are available to local businesses.

Get outside and meet your neighbors.
