Community Events & Activities
Ching Community Garden Project
Shoreline residents Joe and Jennie Ching represent the best of what gardeners and neighbors can be, and the multi-year community effort to honor their story and values with a garden for all deserves the hearty support of the Sky community.
The dream for a community garden on North Greenwood Way has made huge strides since it's inception in 2021. Click below to learn more about the rich Ching story and see how you can get involved!
Hopelink - Plant a Row, Share a Row
Many home and community gardeners help keep the produce bins at Hopelink stocked throughout the growing season. Donations of fresh, unspoiled produce may be dropped off at any of Hopelink's no-cost Food Markets.
With your support we can ensure that the thousands of households that visit Hopelink's Markets each year can fill their carts with local and fresh produce for their families.
