This year will mark ABQ Involved’s 10th year helping local nonprofits through monthly grants and service! Join us with a special Earth Day of service at Rio Grande Food Pantry, and after, with a celebratory event for an opportunity to meet other Involved members and volunteers.
Gardening with Rio Grande Food Pantry begins at 9am until 11 am at 600 Coors Blvd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87121. Our friends at RGFP have a beautiful urban garden on-site where clients can learn how to grow their own fresh produce. Once harvested, the crops are weighed and distributed immediately through their weekly food boxes. All this wonderful growing takes prep work - and they are expanding! So grab your gardening gloves and join us for a morning outdoors in the dirt! Please dress for the weather and wear closed-toed shoes. Children are welcome at this event. Each person attending the event must be registered in advance to keep tabs on the number of people in attendance. Water and light snacks will be provided.
Post-event celebration at 1115 am at Lava Rock Brewing Company at 2220 Unser Blvd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120. Lava Rock is a family friendly brewery only a few minutes from the service project.
