CCEL Serves: Food Strong Superior Farm Fix Up

Site Details: Food Strong is working to create and maintain an Urban Farm to further enhance our shared mission of improving food access, environmental sustainability, nutrition education, and entrepreneurship. We will maintain and beautify the grounds, making necessary repairs and aesthetic improvements on the property, all while training community members in construction, landscaping, carpentry, and related fields. Superior Farm will be a space that engages and beautifies the neighborhood while improving access to fresh, local foods, workforce development opportunities, and resources. All of this will be done while repurposing and resting materials to foster a circular economy, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency. The Farm will be a great asset for Cleveland and all of Northeast Ohio. 

Service Details: Hands-on farm work may include: Planting, harvesting, weeding, mulching, composting; Garden bed maintenance and light construction; General site care and organization; Seed and tool sorting for lighter tasks. All tasks are guided by staff or trained volunteers. No experience is required.

When + Where: Registered volunteers will meet at the CCEL office (TVUC #165) at 4:45 pm and return to campus by 7:15 pm. Transportation is provided to the site in a CCEL van driven by a CCEL Student Leader.
