Open Gardens 9/8
Join local congregations in a family-friendly Open Gardens event on Sunday, September 8th (12 PM - 3 PM).  These community gardens provide Beyond Hunger with fresh produce.  Learn about volunteer opportunities or join the scavenger hunt across the gardens while enjoying some refreshments.  

Oaktoberfest 9/13
Don't miss the music, food and beverages at this fun fest put on by Downtown Oak Park.  Come over to the beer and wine tents and say hi to our volunteers.  We'll be staffing those tents from 4 pm-10 pm and are beneficiaries of all the tips collected.
