Volunteers are asked to commit to approximately three hours of work in the garden during a typical work day. In appreciation of their time and effort, we host three Volunteer Appreciation Lunches each season. These gatherings provide a meaningful opportunity to connect, exchange ideas about food access, and learn from community members how we can better serve our neighbors.

During the time working in the garden, volunteers must be able to bend, crouch, and kneel on sometimes rocky, uneven surfaces. Volunteers should plan to have plenty of water, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, knee pads if available, work gloves, and snacks if needed. Appropriate clothing with closed-toed shoes is a necessity.
