Kick off the summer by exploring the Cambridge Food Bank’s community garden at Forward Church. Youth will learn about garden care, help personalize the space by creating signs and banners, and work together to choose a garden name and mascot. Participants will begin to build ownership of the garden while learning how gardens contribute to local food systems and community well-being.

Youth participants will need to be signed in and out of the program with a photo ID.

As programming takes place outdoors, staff will closely monitor weather conditions leading to the program. If staff determines that an inclement weather event is occurring, you will be notified by 8 AM about the program's relocation to the Cambridge Food Bank at 54 Ainslie St.
