Did you know that the CSC Youth Garden is part of a larger program at CSC? We work closely with our colleagues in CSC's Workforce and Education program to support 16-24 year olds in Benton County gain work experience and find employment.

We are currently looking for additional youth in our area who may need assistance with reengaging in education (either completing a HS diploma or GED), gaining work experience, or getting some hands on training.

If you, or someone you know could benefit from our support reach out to Angela, our Principal Youth Advisor, today!

Linn Benton Food Share

Yum! Vincent and his garden crew brought bread that they baked along with several types of humus and a carrot leek slaw in addition to fresh produce to Clayton Meadows Apartments today to compliment the CSFP food boxes we delivered.

The CSFP boxes (Commodities Supplemental Food Program) are delivered monthly to low income seniors age 60 and up in Linn and Benton Counties.
