About this Event

Volunteer at Ploughshares Nursery

Come join us at Ploughshares Nursery for a day of giving back to the community! We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about gardening and sustainability to help out at our nursery. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to learn new skills, meet like-minded people, and contribute to a great cause. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, we welcome all levels of experience. Help us make a difference and have fun doing it!


PLEASE READ AND COMPLETE THE BEFORE VOLUNTEERING.

Ploughshares Nursery is a non-profit social enterprise of the Alameda Point Collaborative supportive housing community.

100% of our sales support housing and services for formerly homeless families and individuals living on the old Alameda Naval Base in Alameda CA.

We advance our local community by:

  • Selling products that protect the environment
  • Using recycled materials whenever possible
  • Creating job training and employment opportunities for residents of APC housing
  • Generating revenue to support APC housing

ALAMEDA POINT COLLABORATIVE'S MISSION IS WORKING TO END HOMELESSNESS BY PROVIDING HOUSING AND SERVICES TO CREATE COMMUNITIES WHERE FORMERLY HOMELESS FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS CAN FLOURISH.

Volunteers can look forward to general clean up projects, helping us organize the shop, interaction with some friendly farm animals, and helping with general daily tasks (off-loading deliveries, propagation, etc.)

Preparations
