7th Annual Plant-a-Thon

Join us for our Annual Plant-a-thon, a powerful two-day event where 400 volunteers will come together in two-hour shifts to plant over 50,000 seedlings—all of which will grow into fresh, nutritious meals for families facing food insecurity.

The Plant-a-thon is one of the most impactful events of the year at JK Community Farm, bringing together volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to make a tangible difference in our fight against hunger. Over the course of two days, we will work together to plant thousands of vegetable seedlings, ensuring a bountiful harvest for the months ahead. These crops will be grown, harvested, and distributed to our food pantry partners, providing fresh, nutrient-dense meals to families in need.

• Fresh Food for Families in Need – The produce planted during this event will yield thousands of healthy, chemical-free meals that will go directly to those experiencing food insecurity.
• Community Engagement – The Plant-a-thon is an opportunity to bring people together in a meaningful way, fostering a spirit of service and teamwork.
• Sustainable Impact – By growing our own food rather than relying on non-perishable donations, we provide more nutritional value to the families we serve.

• Arrive & Check-In – Volunteers will be welcomed by our team and given a brief introduction to JK Community Farm’s mission and the importance of the Plantathon.
• Get Your Hands Dirty! – In a two-hour shift, you’ll join a team of fellow volunteers to plant thousands of seedlings that will grow into fresh produce.
• Enjoy the Outdoors & Give Back – Working on the farm is a fun and rewarding experience, perfect for individuals, families, corporate teams, and community groups.
• See Your Impact – Each seedling planted will grow into healthy, nourishing food that will directly benefit food-insecure families.

This event is family-friendly, and no prior farming experience is needed—just a willingness to dig in and help!

The Plant-a-thon is a chance to be part of something bigger than yourself, ensuring that fresh, healthy food reaches the families who need it most. Whether you come as an individual, bring a group of friends, or volunteer with a company team, your time and effort will make a lasting difference in the fight against hunger.

Sign up for a shift today and help us plant the seeds for a healthier community!
