Hosted by Nutrition INSIDE, this morning apple harvest on Sauvie Island focuses on gathering fresh, nutritious produce to be delivered to a correctional facility, helping increase access to fresh food for people who are incarcerated. Families are welcome and no prior experience is required. Volunteers under 18 who are able to participate independently may attend with a parent or guardian. The harvest takes place at a privately run orchard on Sauvie Island, and the precise meeting location will be provided after registration.

Volunteer workdays at Wahkiakum Community Garden support Wahkiakum County’s local food pantries by growing fresh produce. Tasks include sowing seeds, caring for garden beds, and harvesting as the season unfolds. The garden offers drop-in volunteer sessions, and smaller group opportunities may also be coordinated directly with the organizers.

Open to the public, this event features vendors and great community spirit. Dogs and strollers are welcome.

The 2027 Safe and Sober Bottle/Can Drive at Scappoose Middle School invites community support for a major fundraising effort. Help can take many forms, including taking a volunteer shift through the available sign-up, lending an enclosed trailer, providing temporary storage for collected materials, or dropping off redeemable cans and bottles. Pickups can be arranged if bringing items is difficult. The same sign-up is set up to cover the full season.
