Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is a North Carolina based non-profit organization, and partner with the Feeding America Network. Our Learning Gardens fall under our "GROW" initiative - helping to combat food insecurity by bringing neighbors together to promote local food production.
The Food Bank Learning Garden is a vibrant example of urban gardening and of the collaboration between sister Feeding America Food Banks. Once operated by the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, the garden is now under the care of Inter-Faith Food Shuttle due to state and federal budget cuts that have impacted hunger relief organizations state-wide. We are honored to take on this responsibility, and to continue the legacy that this garden has made for the local community.
During a shift, volunteers will assist with general gardening tasks such as seasonal harvesting, packing, planting, weeding, pruning, mulching, and greenhouse work. Come prepared to bend, kneel, and lift medium to heavy items to complete our daily tasks.
