Helping our community thrive during the COVID-19 pandemic
As our C/ID community is particularly hard-hit from the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, we are offering opportunities for folks to help out in the garden and greater community. The Danny Woo Community Garden has created two opportunities to volunteer during this crisis: 1) deliver groceries/medicine to those who can't leave home, and 2) farm/grow food with us to donate to our local food banks and communities in need. Thank you for your support and care!
1. VOLUNTEER TO DELIVER GROCERIES/MEDICINE
The gardeners of Danny Woo Community Garden need your help through this COVID-19 pandemic. As elders, they are at high risk to the virus, and many are self-isolating. Many need support getting groceries and medical supplies, as they cannot leave their homes.
We are looking for volunteers who can help deliver groceries, medicines, and other necessities for the gardeners while they are in isolation. Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese speaking volunteers are appreciated, but even if you don't speak any of the languages of the gardeners, we can still use your help!
If you are well* and would like to volunteer to deliver necessities, please fill out the form by clicking on the button below and we will get back to you as soon as possible on next steps.

2 . VOLUNTEER TO FARM at Danny Woo Community Garden or Yes Farm
The Yes Farm with the Black Farmers Collective are rapidly increasing their farming capacity this summer on a two acre farm at Yesler Terrace, in order to donate more food to communities in need. Following their example the Danny Woo Community Garden is shifting focus from volunteer outreach and education to optimizing growing space in our Children's Garden. Our long-term plan is to maximize food donations to our local food banks and our communities in need. We are working on developing a staggered schedule so we may grow food for our community safely.
If you are well* and would like to volunteer to grow food for our communities in need at Danny Woo Community Garden or Yes Farm, please fill out the form by clicking the button below and we will get back to you as soon as possible on next steps.
