Building a Shed

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) students Nate Walsh, Nate Dickerson, Ben Cangeleri and Silas Schrader recently donated their time to build a shed for Capital District Community Gardens (CDCG).
They were introduced to CDCG at RPI's Community Service Fair and immediately wanted to get involved.

"Volunteering provides personal fulfillment. It's important to help those who need your assistance," said Walsh.

In addition to being full-time college students, they are volunteers for Habitat for Humanity and are currently building a house in Troy.


Giving of Yourself
Here are just a few stories of people who are having a tremendous impact on our work:

Helping in the office


Of course, there are lots of ways in addition to these that you help. If you just love to work outside, if you have a particular skill or you just want to help out occasionally with different tasks, please give us a call and we’ll get you involved. We can always use your help.
