DSG Shares at Earthworks Urban Farm, Saturday, October 11

DSG Shares provides an opportunity for volunteers to engage in a service learning event once per month designed to address a specific social issue plaguing our community - hunger and homelessness. Each service learnin! g event engages volunteers in community impact with a Detroit-area organization while educating them on the realities of hunger and homelessness in our community.

Join DSG Shares on Saturday, October 11 from 9 a.m. - noon at:

Earthworks Urban Farm.  By popular demand, we're back at Earthworks for our 2nd volunteer opportunity this year.  But, this time we will be assisting with fall harvesting!  Volunteers will also be engaging in some planting projects.  Planting tools will be provided, but please wear comfortable clothing you don't mind getting dirty. 

What is Earthworks Urban Farm?

Complete with a greenhouse, Earthwork's primary goal is the education of Detroit area school children in areas of science, nutrition and biodiversity of organic agriculture. The project also yields fresh produce to benefit such programs as WIC and the Soup Kitchen's daily meals. 

Getting to Earthworks Urban Farm

Volunteers will meet in the parking lot of the soup kitchen (located adjacent to the Earthworks Garden) at 1264 Meldrum Ave., near Belle Isle, just off of Mt. Elliot and Lafayette Ave.

Who can attend?

Volunteers of any skill level from no gardening experience to seasoned gardener, ages 8 and up, are welcome to engage in this fun urban garden opportunity!

For additional information or to volunteer contact Regina at dsgshares@detroitsynergy.org.
