Calling All Volunteers...
Looking for an opportunity to get your hands dirty while giving back to the community?

For over 40 years, North County Community Services has been providing vitally needed services to residents of San Diego North County, including the operation of nine Child Development Centers and North County Food Bank, established in 1989. In order to further our mission of supporting working families and feeding the hungry, we are created a community garden in Oceanside. Raised beds will soon be available for individuals and families to rent at a reasonable rate; additionally, beds will be designated to grow produce that supports NCCS preschools and Food Bank.

We are looking for volunteers to help install the last 12 raised beds and need your help! We also need volunteers to help weed the existing beds and pathways. Once the raised beds are installed, the site will be ready for an irrigation system, a fence, and finally we will be ready to plant! Whether you would like to rent a bed for yourself or your family, or volunteer to help with vegetable beds for North County Community Services, we can't wait to do some cool crop gardening with you soon!

Join us on Saturday, September 18th from 9am-noon at 4510 North River Road, Oceanside CA. To register, please e-mail your name and phone number to volunteer@sdnccs.org. You can also use this e-mail if you have questions, or call Abby at 760-471-5483.

Thanks for volunteering!
