The Redwood Empire Food Bank has partnered with Farm to Fight Hunger—and we’re looking for volunteers to join us in the fields! You’ll help harvest fresh, delicious produce that goes directly to our neighbors facing food insecurity. The best part? Farm to Fight Hunger donates 100% of what they grow, with a focus on culturally appropriate foods that truly nourish our community.
This is an outdoor, hands-on opportunity—you can expect to get your hands dirty! Volunteers will work in open fields, bending, kneeling, and using pruning shears throughout the shift. You may be harvesting crops such as kale, squash, peppers, tomatillos, and tomatoes during the summer season. Wildlife and farm animals—including chickens and friendly dogs—may also be present on the property. A restroom is available on site.
To learn more about this opportunity, watch our Farm to Fight Hunger Volunteer & Safety Guidelines video.
