About: Olympia Kiwanis Foodbank Gardens

The Olympia Kiwanis Club manages three gardens in the Olympia area. Over 20,000 pounds of produce is raised, harvested, and then donated to the Thurston County Food Bank each year.

Consider a donation to support the garden staff.  Part-time farm/garden workers in temporary employment with the Food Bank acting as employer, helps give the gardens week to week continuity, and helps us keep ahead of the weeds. Just request that your donation be used to support Thurston County Food Bank staff. Thank You!
