Mill City Grows Volunteer Day

Get Your Hands Dirty for a Great Cause! 

Mill City Grows Volunteer Day
Saturday, September 14, 10 AM – 1 PM

Looking to make a tangible difference with your time? Join fellow TPC members for a rewarding morning at Mill City Grows in Lowell, MA! This is your chance to support one of our grantees in a hands-on way while connecting with others who share your passion for community and sustainability.

What to Expect:

• Who: TPC members are encouraged to register their friends and family (kids 8+ yrs old are welcome!)

• Dig In: Arrive at 10 AM ready to spend a few hours harvesting and weeding to help maintain the gardens that fuel local food justice. Wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and bring gardening gloves if you have them.

• Behind-the-Scenes Tour: After our work, enjoy a guided tour of Mill City Grows’ facilities and see firsthand how they transform urban spaces into vibrant food sources.

• Optional Lunch: Stick around to share a casual lunch at the farm—bring your own or grab something local!

Why It Matters:
Mill City Grows is more than just a garden—it's a movement for food justice in Lowell. By increasing access to land, locally grown food, and educational resources, they're fostering healthier communities and greater economic independence.

Let’s roll up our sleeves and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable community—one plant at a time!
