Saturday of Service: Garden Work @ Coit Road Farmers Market

Site Description: Founded in 1932, the Coit Road Farmers Market provides access to affordable, locally grown farm fresh produce to residents of Greater Cleveland. The four-acre market site includes a garden for community members to grow produce for family use as well as an urban farm area for growers who sell their produce at the Market. The East Cleveland Farmers Market Preservation Society (ECFM) is an all volunteer organization that operates the market year round.

Service Description:  The market has a number of garden beds that need to be prepared for the winter season.  This can involve cutting down and adding mulch to plant beds, removing invasive plants, and clearing brush. There may also be some painting and arranging storage areas.

When + Where: Registered volunteers will meet at the CCEL office at 9:45 am and will return to campus by 1:20 pm. Volunteers will travel together to the site with a CCEL student leader via private bus.
