Seattle Hokies Big Event - 2026

⏰ 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
📍Volunteers should meet in the Northwest Corner of the Marra-Desimone Park

🌱 The Seattle Hokies will come together at Marra Farms for a day of gardening and seasonal preparation. We'll work on building soil, preparing vegetable beds, planting vegetable starts and seeds, weeding, composting, harvesting, washing produce, and distributing produce to the community food bank and other locations.
🧡 All gardening skill levels welcome! Many of our volunteers start with limited or no gardening knowledge, and learn as they go. Families and future Hokies welcome!
☀️ We'll be out in the elements so closed-toed shoes, a hat, sunscreen, rain jacket, and a refillable water bottle is recommended.
🍎 Please also bring snacks and your lunch along with you.
Registering with Virginia Tech let's the Seattle Hokies know that you're volunteering. ⏭️From here, you'll also need to sign-up
to be a Marra Farms volunteer. You'll also need to sign Volunteer Waiver
for yourself, as well as any future Hokies
coming along! All links will be additionally shared in your confirmation email.
📢 Follow along on
for updates. We'll also share plans to meet-up after the Big Event service project wraps!
Finally, an optional opportunity will be provided during checkout to make a gift to the Seattle Hokies Scholarship Fund for local students heading off to Virginia Tech. Thank you in advance for any support you lend to our chapter!
We look forward to seeing you soon!  Go Hokies!
