VANCOUVER, Wash. – Volunteer with Washington State University Vancouver’s Cougs in the Community to help move the North County Food Bank’s community garden. Grab your garden gloves and prepare to get dirty 9 a.m. – noon March 26 at the Aho Family Farm, 21902 NE 189th St., Brush Prairie, Wash.
Help plant seedlings, prepare starts for planting, dismantle and relocate a small garden shed, and haul raised bed materials and wooden frames. Be sure to wear gloves, warm clothing and shoes that can get dirty. Also, because limited tools and transportation will be available, you can be extra helpful by bringing your own garden tools, pickup or flatbed.
Afterwards, unwind with fellow Cougs at Mill Creek Pub, 1710 SW 9th Ave., Battle Ground, Wash. Free sandwiches; cash bar.
