The R' Garden is looking for volunteers interested in helping harvest food for the R' Pantry. The R' Garden is a space for students, staff, faculty, and community members. The R' Garden grows a lot of food that is harvested and donated to the R' Pantry for all students to enjoy. Help us harvest this food and be a part meeting the basic needs of students on campus! The R' Garden is located at Lot 30 - parking will be free on MLK Day and volunteers can park in lot 30.
All volunteers for all projects will check-in at the R’ Garden in Lot 30 at UCR at 8am to check-in, ensure they filled out a waiver, get a t-shirt, grab water and snacks, and check in with their project lead. From there we will all head out to our respective project sites to volunteer from 9am-12pm. Please keep this in mind as all volunteers will be expected to check-in there first, before going to do service.
Things to keep in mind:
Volunteers are asked to wear sturdy and comfortable closed-toe shoes with good traction, long pants that cover the whole leg, and dress in layers in case it is cold. Hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses are recommended. Individuals sensitive to allergies (such as insect bites, pollens, etc.) should bring their medication. All necessary tools/materials will be provided. All volunteers must sign the Project #3 Voluntary Waiver in order to participate. Finally – we are serving our community on this day to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If you are signing up to serve on this day, you are signing up to commit your time and respect to the communities that we are serving. All volunteers are expected to be respectful while volunteering and committed to the work. Unless you have a specific circumstance or emergency, you will be expected to stay the entire time.
