Our volunteers contribute directly to the community by increasing the amount of food available in food banks, food pantries and emergency food programs across the Western Slope. As a thank you, we send you home with “seconds” (because mother nature isn’t perfect) and integrate short learning activities into many of our visits. Children and adults of all ages have a fit.   Volunteer hours spent here qualify for service hours required at many area schools.

We ask that volunteers sign up for EACH shift. The schedule and volunteer activities are embedded in the sign up sheet.

COMMUNITY, STUDENTS, YOU!

All members of the community are invited to volunteer with us. Families, children, seniors, and organizations are all welcomed. Whether you just volunteer for a day or continue to be a part of our network for many years, we’d love to have you come out and see what we do! We show our appreciation to our volunteers by sending home seconds and incorporating quick educational activities into our volunteer events. If you would like to be on our email list to hear about volunteer opportunities, please follow this LINK to fill out the form.

Need service hours for school or a club? Look no further! High school students are welcome to volunteer with planting/harvesting in the summer or after school in the fall and spring. We can also support larger service projects like Eagle Projects. Please fill out our volunteer inquiry FORM and specify you are interested in completing a service project with us.

Join us for harvests August and September then have your lunch in our forested picnic area. Here’s that form again to sign up.

Fruit harvests

We rely on the community to help harvest our nine acres of apple and fruit trees on weekday nights and on weekends in August and September.  This fruit goes directly to food banks and volunteers get to take some home as well. We never send volunteers up on ladders and minimize the amount of weight they have to carry.  If you are interested in joining a harvest, sign up on our form found HERE.

Vegetable harvests

We grow vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant and in 2024 — okra. These vegetables are donated directly to local food banks and volunteers get to take some home as well. We need volunteers to help bring in the vegetable harvest throughout the growing season. We primarily harvest on weekday mornings so we can direct the food right to the food pantries.  If you are interested in helping, sign up on our form found in HERE.
