Service Hour Tasks
Community service hours must be completed outside your own plot and be activities that help with general garden maintenance, supports the Produce for People program, or aids another gardener who has requested help.
Some common tasks include:
- Clearing undesired plants (including weeds) from the pathway or fence line
- Cleaning the common areas of the garden
- Helping in a neighbor’s plot (only with their express permission)
- Cleaning the tool shed
- Organizing a plot watering exchange in your garden
- Organizing donation to one of the three food pantries in Sherwood
- We encourage you to reach out to steffenst@sherwoodoregon.gov to learn more about areas that need a little extra help.
Accommodation Options
If you are unable to complete some or all of your service hours, please let us know. You must complete hours or request an accommodation to be compliant with the policy for the season. All accommodation requests must be made prior to the June or October deadline.
To request an accommodation, please email steffenst@sherwoodoregon.gov or call 503-625-4213.
Extension
Gardeners unable to complete three service hours by the June 30 deadline can request an extension to complete all six service hours by October 31.
Gardeners assigned to their plot May 1 or later automatically receive an extension for service hours. All 6 hours must be completed by October 31, unless a waiver is requested.
Partial Waiver
The three hour requirement due June 30 is waived. You must complete and log at least 3 hours by October 31.
Full Waiver
You will not be required to complete or log any service hours in the season you make the request. The waiver is only valid for one season, so you will need to complete hours or request a new waiver the next season.
