Volunteer Day at Forward Gardens

A Disconnect Madison community event in partnership with Madison Area Food Pantry Gardens

What if the most meaningful thing you did this week happened in a field, with dirt on your hands, unbothered by the demands of the digital world?

Join Disconnect Madison for an afternoon of giving and connection at Forward Garden, a 12-acre working farm operated by Madison Area Food Pantry Gardens (MAFPG) in Middleton, WI. Every hour we spend here translates directly into fresh produce for Dane County neighbors who rely on food assistance. MAFPG has grown and donated over 2 million pounds of produce since 2000, and they rely on people like you to keep that going.

We'll meet as a group and spend two hours working on the farm together, weeding, planting, harvesting, or whatever the season calls for!

What to bring: Clothes you can get dirty, closed-toed shoes, water bottle, sunscreen

No experience needed. MAFPG staff will be on-site to guide and assist us
