Thank you to everyone who has generously made a donation to support our Climb for the Community! We are tantalizingly close to our goal of raising $30,000 online for the Climb.

Give a bit more, and get a chance at some great giveaways including tickets to the August 22 pre-season Seahawks game.

Your donation will…

Volunteer with Solid Ground’s Lettuce Link program and help grow fresh, organic produce at the Giving Garden at Marra Farm to donate at local food banks.

If you live closer to Pierce County or feel like taking a field trip, volunteers are needed at the Mother Earth Farm in Puyallup. The next work party is this Saturday, April 25.
