We’re holding a Spring Donation Drive for the Flock Food Project on Sunday, April 11 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm at Breese Stevens Field. Below you’ll find a list of items that will help us start growing and feeding individuals and families in need!

What Should I Donate?

We will accept most items, but these are the items in highest demand. As these will be potentially gifted to a family we reserve the right to refuse any items not in working condition.

  • Infrastructure: Tomato cages, bamboo poles, twine or netting, garden cloche, cold frames 

  • Large gardening tools: spades, hoses, rakes, shovels

  • Small gardening tools: Trowel, pruner and shears, three-prong cultivator

  • Containers: grow bags (5, 7, or 10 gallons)

  • General gardening: Watering cans w/ shower head, natural organic fertilizers (new), bags of unopened compost or gardening soil

  • Raised beds: Cedar boards (ground grade, non-pressure treated, non-chemical treated)

  • Clothing and gear: cotton t-shirts, garden tote, gardening gloves

  • Delivery: fridge/mini-fridge, reusable grocery totes, paper bags, rubber bands, ice packs, insulated produce boxes (e.g. Imperfect Produce), harvest baskets

How Far Will My Monetary Donations Go?

Any donation amount will go a long way to combat food insecurity in our community. Here’s a representation of how your donations can help kickstart our gardens:

  • $1,000: supports an entire growing season and at our Troy Gardens plot

  • $500: supports one Member Garden for an entire growing season

  • $250: makes it possible to deliver fresh produce to families for a season

  • $100: builds strong garden foundations with items such as compost, soil, and fertilizer

  • $50: supplies new gardeners with a garden success kit

  • $25: gives the gardens a boost with access to strong seedlings

  • $10: plants the seed of access to fresh food by allowing us to buy seeds
