Volunteer with our Composting Program

ORGANIZATION: Grey Bears

Our composting program in action

Our six Earth Tubs turn food scraps from our brown bag and lunch programs into high-quality compost for your garden, and we sell it dirt cheap at our thrift store. This composting program is essential to our operation and we are looking for volunteers to help keep it running smoothly. No experience is necessary and we are excited to train new volunteers in this work.
