We have lots of physical needs, in addition to our many, many volunteer needs. If you would like to donate any of the following, we would be very grateful:

• Shovels, rakes, and other garden tools that could be left at the garden for any volunteer’s use
• Netting and stakes to be used for the climbing plants (contact us for specifics)
• A garden shed – this is a big one, but we would love to have a small shed out at the garden to store our garden tools, so that people don’t have to bring out equipment every time they come to work at the garden
• A rotatiller/s – we will need a tiller on an ongoing basis, so we would love to have one of our very own that we could store in our new shed
• Rain collection drums, pumps, etc.
• We would love to use rain collection as much as possible because it is such a sustainable way to water the garden, but we need some people with some expertise in this area (or who are willing to research the best options for our garden).
• Individuals who are willing to write up garden resources for the garden volunteers and the larger Grace community. We want to provide good food, but we also want to serve the Grace community by encouraging creation care and providing them with as many resources as possible to start their own gardens or just become more aware of God’s creation around them.
• Organic material for composting…check out this site for a list of compost materials. There are five or six compost “cylinders” setup out at the garden made of green wire, so feel free to just dump your organic materials right into our compost piles.Individuals with garden experience and/or expertise that would be willing to serve as a resource for our volunteers and plot leaders regarding gardening practices and questions.
• Individual/s willing to collect coffee grounds from local Starbucks and other restaurants willing to donate their used coffee grounds that will be used for compost out at the garden.
• We need people for special projects: compost collection and research, equipment donation, and anything else you can dream up! 

One of our volunteers is working on building a shelter out at the garden that will be used to collect and channel rain water, in addition to serving as a shelter for volunteers working out at the garden. We need the following materials, if you have any of these or are interested in donating them to the cause:

• 6 4×4x12 Treated Posts
• 6-10 2×6x12 Treated Boards
• 8-2×4x8 Treated boards
• 3 1/2×4x8 Treated plywood
• Aluminum flashing
• 2 Flex Gutter and two end caps
• 1 Box Deck Screws
• 8 Bags Quick Dry Concrete 
• Cinder Deck Blocks for tank foundations
• Shingles
