Who We Are
The Market Garden at Tarrant Area Food Bank West engages the community to grow food that is distributed to neighbors through the on-site TAFB West Market.
TAFB Garden programs are an initiative in which communities at risk of hunger and malnutrition are guided and inspired to grow their own produce. This program offers creative and simple solutions to improve access to nutritious food in our service area.
What We Do
Volunteers are invited to help at workdays in the TAFB West Market Garden, 112 Winners Circle, Weatherford, TX 76087.
No prior experience is required, however volunteers should feel comfortable lifting, bending, stooping and working in outside weather conditions.
Please dress for the weather in layers of clothing that can get dirty. Wear close-toed shoes or boots. Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and bug spray are also recommended. Please wear or bring a coat and hat for cold workdays if you are able.
Volunteer roles include but are not limited to:
- Weeding
- Watering
- Planting
- Harvesting
- Composting
Individuals as young as 13 years old may volunteer in the Market Garden; however, ages 13-15 years old MUST have at least one adult volunteering with every 5 youth.
If your schedule changes and you are not able to attend this event, please un-register so someone else can sign up. We need all of our spaces filled by those who are able to attend.
Volunteers are Encouraged to Bring Their Own:
- Garden gloves
- Bandana or towel
- Water
- Personal face mask if desired
TAFB will have garden gloves available for volunteers to use, if needed.
