By Lauren Christensen, DUG Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator
Denver Urban Gardens would not be able to achieve what it does without the help of dedicated volunteers. These volunteers help us find roots in communities, help move our mission forward and inspire us every day. One such volunteer is Rachel McNeill, who has taken on the mission of identifying outreach locations for our Youth Farmer’s Market and created a map based off of those locations for maximum impact. Rachel decided to become involved with Denver Urban Gardens because, as a resident of downtown Denver, she lacks access to a garden and loves that DUG brings gardens to communities, as well as wanting to be involved with an organization that brings her joy. What Rachel enjoys the most about being involved with DUG is getting to know the staff, as well as seeing the inner workings of the organization. Rachel says that seeing how hard everyone works makes her happy to contribute to the mission and inspires her to keep supporting Denver Urban Gardens. She loves the good energy at Denver Urban Gardens and Denver Urban Gardens thanks Rachel for all that she’s done!
