PLACES TO GROW
“I would like to volunteer at a community garden!”
We understand that not everybody has the space and resources to grow a backyard garden. That’s why we’ve partnered with two community garden sites where people can sign up to help plant, care for, and harvest crops year round. Sound fun? It is!

OTHER WAYS TO HELP
“Can I help pick up and deliver veggies?”
Thanks for asking — Yes! We will be gathering freshly harvested produce from our growers and delivering it to food banks and other charitable organizations dedicated to feeding hungry families. Sign up here:
“Can I help inspect, sort and weigh donated produce?”
We need extra hands to help sort and weigh all the produce we’ve gathered from backyard and community gardens. Sign up here:
“I would like to make a tax-deductible donation!”
This is a big project. We can use all the help we can get! Your donation helps us buy tools and materials, feed our teams of volunteers, and pay our staff to run a safe and efficient operation.
