Volunteer

Volunteers are critical to the work we do each day, from moving food into the hands of our community to getting our gardens ready for the season. Our regular volunteers experience fulfillment and a sense of belonging and purpose while getting experience in community service and programming. If you think you’d like to volunteer with us, take a moment to read about our opportunities and fill out our volunteer application. Once we hear from you we will be in touch!

Volunteer Opportunities for Individuals

Community Gardens: Our community garden team relies on volunteers to prepare and put to rest our 12 garden beds and nearly 200 garden plots every spring and fall. If you enjoy digging in the dirt, working with plants and people this is a great role for you.

Food Pantry Support: Our food pantry team unloads and distributes an average of 12,000 lbs of food each week to nearly 500 households! Volunteers help unload, sort, and shelve food and support food distribution and restocking during open hours. If you love working in a team setting and among our many diverse communities this is a great role for you.

Community Meals: Once a month Gather to Grow offers brings our neighbors together to share in a meal and get to know one another. Volunteers help with food prep, space set up and break down.

Building Support and Projects: Gather to Grow’s make facility is a nearly 130 year old school building. There is always something to do around our building from cleaning, to organizing, to fixing up and building.
