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.
Camden Street Learning Garden is more than a green space in the middle of a city. It's where kids, families, and individuals can be in nature, connect with one another, and grow fruits and vegetables that nourish their lives. The garden is situated on an acre of land in downtown Raleigh and features over twenty raised beds, a 400-sq.ft. production garden, a food forest, a 5,200 gallon rainwater catchment system, two beehives, a greenhouse, a composting facility, and a covered outdoor classroom. It is a space that provides community members with the opportunity to cultivate new relationships as they find out where their food comes from, how to grow it, and how to turn it into healthy and affordable meals.
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.
