SUMMARY:Whole Foods 5% Day
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars to shop at Whole Foods Market on October 17th to support school gardens across Oregon! Whole Foods has designated the Oregon Farm to School & School Garden Network as the beneficiary for 5% of sales at ALL stores in Oregon on October 17th!  As the Central Oregon Regional School Garden Education Hub\, we are excited to support this statewide community giving. Funds they raise will go towards putting on the 2020 Oregon Farm to School and School Garden Conference\, (which our staff plan to attend) and supporting the work of regional hubs – that’s us! \nMultiple times a year we gather local garden educators and teachers wishing to incorporate garden based education into their work with youth. OFSSGN has funding to support 1 regional gathering a year\, but we work to bring educators together in different locations for trainings\, resource shares and school garden tours multiple times a year. By supporting OFSSGN you are supporting our ability to convene our local Garden Educator Network and enrich the work they do on the ground at school across Central Oregon.

SUMMARY:22nd Annual Deschutes River Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:The Deschutes River Clean-Up is a special day for watershed stewards of all ages to give back to the river. The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council coordinates the Deschutes River Clean-Up each year to engage business partners\, river users\, and community members in hands-on stewardship activities on the Deschutes River.  Recreation use of the river has increased dramatically over the past few years and\, unfortunately\, so too has the amount of debris that ends up in the river. \nVolunteers will meet at Riverbend Park at 10:00 am for coffee\, pastries and instructions. River clean-up activities will take place in the Deschutes River and along its riparian areas between Slough Campground and Drake Park. \nBring your paddleboard\, kayak\, or canoe to help Central Oregon Diving divers pull garbage out of the river\, or help us pull invasive weeds and remove litter from the stream banks. \nSign up to volunteer!
