Host a Food Drive
Garden Sharing
There are a number of ways you can help us provide fresh produce during the gardening season. Join a local gardening group like “The Table” that shares a portion of their crops with us. Volunteer to work in one of the donated garden spaces or donate your own space. Or even donate a portion of what you’ve raised in your own garden. Be assured our clients love to get fresh vegetables for their tables!
Volunteer when it works for YOU
Whether you have a special skill that would benefit us or just have time to give, contact one of our staff or send us an email of your interest. We can train you … or maybe you can train us! We cannot do this work without your help. Check out our Volunteer Event Calendar.
Donate
Even with the volunteered time and donated food and clothing, we still buy food to provide a well-balanced selection to our clients. Usually we are able to get bulk discounted items to make our dollars stretch as far as possible. We are worth your investment.
