TUC Garden is a proud partner with the Ohio Association of Foodbanks and AmeriCorps to provide summer volunteer opportunities to help the community here in Toledo, OH.

For this summer 2023, TUC Garden is looking to fill 3 summer member positions to work at our community garden.

You will be helping us to maintain and cultivate our crops for the season; by weeding, harvesting, cleaning and assembling veggie bags for distribution. We also will be starting and completing up to 3 projects on the grounds in addition to our daily tasks. 

If you want to be rewarded with a satisfying day's work in the sun (hopefully) by helping to grow food for our community, we are the place to be this summer.

starts June 05 2023 to August 13, 2023.

The hours are 40 hours a week, with possible flexible hours as agreed upon with the Garden Director.
