Service-a-thon: Spruce Up the Shed

Help give the UIS Campus Community Garden a fresh new look by painting the garden shed! Volunteers will work together to clean, prep, and paint the shed, helping preserve it for future seasons while creating a welcoming space for students, staff, and community gardeners. No painting experience is necessary, and all supplies will be provided. Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on and join us for a fun time that will leave a lasting impact on campus.

Bring your own water, sunscreen and a cap or head covering (optional)
