I joined Common Ground, one of the community gardens in Anaheim about a month ago and have really enjoyed it so far! Since I live in an apartment, I don't have much room to plant my own vegetables and flowers at home so joining the garden made sense. Each member gets their own 8x4 foot plot. It's a great way to volunteer too because you can come anytime during the week. I can easily stop by in the evenings after work or on weekend mornings. There is so much open space just waiting to be developed. Everyone I have met there so far has been very helpful, sharing seeds and gardening tips. They are also excited about developing the garden further and open to new ideas from members. For instance, a couple weeks ago a friend and I helped plant a pumpkin patch for community use, meaning all the members can harvest pumpkins for Halloween this year. Plus a year long membership is only $40 and includes water for your plot and the use of community tools and spaces. (Which is great, if you are like me and don't own any tools) If you are at all interested in gardening or learning to garden I recommend checking this place out! read more

I've volunteered at various food banks and this is definitely one of the more challenging ones. Packing/sorting the peaches is a messy job and either that or the onions got some type of allergen on our forearms, making us super itchy. On the box packing assembly line I was given two stations so I worked like a dog as fast/hard as I could so I wouldn't let the rest of the line down even though I probably should've taken a break. It was like an hour long cardio workout and I was drenched in sweat by the end of it, but we got A LOT of boxes packed.

I went here once for a women's open meeting and this is my experience. The group is large, easily…read moremore than 100 people. Most of the meeting time was taken up by those taking milestone chips and telling their stories. This left about 15 minutes for open discussion. I witnessed several people in the meeting who were still clearly using, and in fact high during the meeting. I would say this can provide some kind of "fear factor," but I really found it triggering and it made me want to pick up. I never went back. I appreciate the resources they provide to the community, but for myself I had to find another meeting to feel more comfortable.

I struggled writing this review, but I feel it's important. I had two run-ins with Robin Rush, and…read moreafter the first, I wrote a complaint but didn't send it, hoping things would improve. After the second, I realized this was a pattern, and after reading other reviews, I saw it wasn't just me. To those who spoke up before: thank you. Your honesty helped me see my experience wasn't isolated. Because of your reviews and my own documentation, I was able to present the truth to the court and received another extension even after being told I had no options left. I'll take responsibility for not securing my extension properly... that was on me. But the way Robin handled it was unnecessarily harsh. What could've been resolved with simple communication turned into a cycle of criticism and disrespect. She accused me of being "lazy," "not working," and "needing to be told to keep busy," all of which are false. To clarify: once, she saw me on my phone after eight hours of work, texting my partner I'd be home soon. Another time, her son saw me talking to two volunteers on our scheduled break. Besides those two, no staff member ever implied I wasn't working. In fact, I was respected by the rest of the team and praised for my effort. Even in disagreement, I remained polite and respectful. I apologized after our initial misunderstanding, which she ignored. She once raised her voice at me in front of staff completely uncalled for. She also slammed a paper down and slid it across the counter toward me with an irritated, "What's this? This means nothing to me," before I could even explain. It wasn't a violent throw, but it was aggressive and unnecessary. I stayed calm. At that time, she even confused me with someone else, insisting I had "argued" with her over text when no such exchange existed. When I later read a reviewer's comment about Robin throwing a purse at them, I believed it instantly! I'd seen that same temperament myself. At one point, when I opened up about feeling overwhelmed, hoping for understanding, she told me to stop with my "sob story" and sent a screenshot of a helpline. No empathy, no concern, just dismissal. No one working in recovery or service should ever say that to someone struggling. People come for help, not humiliation. The last time we spoke, I mentioned her staff's early closures made me short an hour on my timesheet. Her response: "That's not my problem." Those words said everything. I've since learned others had the same experience. One reviewer said Robin told him "everyone was complaining about him," the exact thing she told me. That pattern matters. When a person in authority tells struggling people they're the problem, even when they're trying, it's not just unkind, it's damaging. For those seeking recovery or structure, that kind of treatment can push them further from healing. To be fair, what Robin does for the community, food distribution, recovery meetings, community service is good work. But compassion and communication are just as vital. She may run programs, but she lacks the empathy those in recovery truly need. Ironically, this experience became a blessing in disguise. My new site, a church, welcomed me with warmth and patience. They even told me if I'm ever short on hours, they'll work with me. That's the spirit of service that changes lives. Robin often speaks of being close to God, but my experience with her was the opposite of Christ-like compassion. "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." -- Ephesians 4:32 To anyone volunteering, completing service, or attending meetings here do so with awareness. This organization's mission is admirable, but its leadership needs reflection. A person can feed bodies and still starve spirits. I sincerely hope Robin one day understands the power her words/actions have and chooses to use them to heal rather than harm.

The alternative? There isn't one. All of the local landfills are closed and county officials seem content to sit back and watch folks continue to illegally dump their trash everywhere.

Free Compost and Mulch Now Available in Brea at Valencia Greenery! How to Get Your Free Compost & Mulch To get started, please make sure to make an appointment before heading to the site.

We recommend scheduling your appointment well in advance, and please be aware that you must exit the site by 4 p.m. So, plan your visit accordingly and give yourself enough time to fill your containers before the 4 p.m. deadline. When you arrive, remember to bring a container for your compost and mulch, as well as a shovel to help you load it. Don't forget to secure your compost in your vehicle--using a tarp or some kind of cover will keep it from spilling during transit, ensuring you can safely get home with your gardening treasure. We also ask that you keep an adequate distance between your car and the truck in front of you while driving to the site. This will help maintain safety for everyone.

I already pre-sorted the basics, but wasn't aware of some of the other stuff that needed to be taken out. Luckily, the 2 guys there were SUPER patient in explaining to me the differences of materials, how we're sorting it, and what they offer for each. My only gripe is that if you have a large haul and need to park near the sorting area, good luck. The entrance sort of shares the same one with the next door gas station, so it can get clogged if a person is parked. Otherwise, if no one's around, you're good.

This review is just for the compost…read more Came here for roughly 20 cubic feet of compost soil. It was all free through reservations in their website. You can't beat free! I was apprehensive about coming here, not knowing what to expect. But the whole process was super easy. Drive up towards the main office and follow the signs to the compost heap. It's located on the side of the parking lot. Back your car/truck right up to the heap and start shoveling. The compost itself isn't that rich loamy material that you make at home. There is a high percentage of "browns" in there. So using it as a compost amendment isn't as effective as manure. But since it's all for free, I just use it straight, as potting soil. Saves you a ton of money, particularly if you're trying to fill a sizable raised bed. Side note, this stuff is fresh. It was quite warm even on a cold day. It doesn't stink like poop but it does give off quite a bit of ammonia.
