We want to welcome the AUFC volunteers and friends from previous years to our first Work Day of the 2026 season.

We apologize for the short notice, Blue Grass just gave us the time of the compost delivery.

We are now located on the south side of a company called EATON, just north of the Genesis Rec. Centre.

403 East Lake Blvd. NE.

We’re looking for help tomorrow, Saturday morning, May 30 th. at 8:00 am, or any time before noon.
We need to move compost to the garden beds and work it into the soil.

It’s best to wear leg covering to be safe !

We can find a task for everyone.

We look forward to seeing our volunteers from previous years.

Please DM if you have any questions or are able to help out!
🙏
