Growing nutritious organic food for the community
About Us
Food insecurity is a significant issue for many families and individuals in Lincoln County and surrounding areas. The East Lincoln Community Garden at Sally's YMCA is dedicated to lessening the impact on those in need by contributing all harvested food to Second Harvest Food Bank local agencies.
Volunteer
Get involved! We need volunteers to achieve our goals! Whether you're an experienced gardener or just learning, every volunteer is essential and valued for your contributions. It's about coming together to learn from each other, share experiences, enjoy the garden, and provide a service to our community.
Events
Beginning in March 2026, garden events will be posted on the Event Calendar. After the last frost date (mid- to late-April), you'll see daily tasks and weekly training sessions for garden operations, plant care, pest and disease identification, mitigations, and harvesting. Participate as often as your schedule allows!
Sponsorship
The East Lincoln Community Garden is hosted by Sally's YMCA and the YMCA of Catawba Valley, 501(c)(3) organizations. We are totally reliant on cash contributions and grants to continue our operations throughout the year. Become a sponsor today to help us grow nutritious food for the community!
