Every Monday, we hand out gleaned food to our community, no questions asked. If you are interested in volunteering at the Free Grocery Store, you may serve for any period of time between 1 pm and 7 pm at St. Matthews Lutheran Church for sorting, set up, and distribution of food.

​

If you would like to volunteer as a gleaner (transporting free food from pickup sites to storage) please email sustainablerenton@gmail.com

We are always looking for volunteers to weed, water, turn compost piles, or lay wood chips on the garden paths. Any of these jobs can happen on any day for any amount of time that you have available.
