Agency: Lettuce Link

Description: Celebrate Earth Day with Marra Farm! Lettuce Link is a creative emergency food and gardening program that meets a very basic community need. They provide fresh organic produce, vegetable seeds, plant starts, organic gardening supplies, assistance and information to low-income people throughout Seattle, helping to prevent malnutrition and connecting people with the resources they need to grow their own nutritious foods. As the cost of organic produce is prohibitive for people struggling to make ends meet; Lettuce Link - and their host, Marra Farm - fills an important role in our community.

Help with necessary farm maintenance by weeding, harvesting vegetables, creating paths, fixing fences, hauling wood chips, doing minor repairs and other tasks necessary to keep the garden going. What better way to honor mother earth than to sustain one of the last two working farms in Seattle.

Please come prepared for weather; wear sturdy shoes, long sleeves and pants to protect yourself from scratches; bring snacks and water to keep you going. Tools and gloves will be provided.
