Our downtown site, the Neighborhood House, participates in the Fields to Families program. This program provides fresh produce gleaned from the Saturday farmers market (Marion Square) for our lunch program clients the following Monday. We are in need of groups of 4-5 volunteers to help gather produce donations and transport them to the Neighborhood House on 79 America Street. This is a 3-4 hour time commitment. There are various Saturday dates to be filled between May 2018 and December 2018.
