Dykes With Drills is proud to partner with Star Farm Chicago to help build several large raised garden beds and assist with other tasks around their farm. Come spend the day giving back to the community. Whether you are a seasoned builder or just getting started, we are excited to have you join us!
The ticket price of $30 is a donation that will pay for the cost of the materials for the raised beds. If you are interested in donating more, you can choose to add an additional donation to your volunteer ticket.
