Food Bank Logo

Each Monday, Billy volunteers with the Bellingham Food Bank Farm in Bellingham starting at 9AM.

Being able to out of the salon and hands out of hair and into the field with hand covered in dirt allow for a similar, yet differnet reward in working with one’s hands.

Learning how to plant, fertilize, water, and care for plants that will eventually be providing some much needed and fresh produce for anyone who accesses the Bellingham Food Bank is a reward in itself.

We invite you to join us in volunteering or, if you are growing your own produce, plant an extra plant and donate the produce from it to the Bellingham Food Bank. Together we can help end hunger in our community!
