The Garden
Supporting Food Security
The Neighborhood House Garden is located right next to the Free Food Market in Multnomah Village. Each year, the Garden provides around 1,500 pounds of fresh, nutritious vegetables that are harvested and then distributed from the Market to neighbors who need food. This is an entirely volunteer-run program.

Ways you can help:

- Sources for plant starts
- Scattered Garden participants (read on for more information)
Scattered Garden Program
More zucchini than you can use? We can help
You can grow fresh produce in your own garden and give the surplus to the Neighborhood House Free Food Market through the Scattered Garden Program.
The idea is simple. Grow food at your home or community garden and bring any extra to Neighborhood House to share with people who need food help.
Each Spring we provide home gardeners and community gardens with vegetable plant starts to get you started. This year’s giveaway is coming up May 16-18:
Ways you can help:
- Make room in your garden to grow produce to contribute to the Market
- Provide vegetable plant starts to help people get started
- Spread the word to other gardeners and community garden groups who might be interested
