We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about local food systems, have attention to detail, don't mind a bit of brute labor. If this sounds like you and you're ready to eat yummy, local food, join us!
Our 14th annual fundraiser, An Incredible Feast, is an opportunity to celebrate the season, meet new chefs and have fun! The event helps to provide funding for Fresh Bucks (low-income food access programs), free community events, local food education, farmer advocacy, and the Good Farmer Fund (emergency relief available to Neighborhood Farmers Market farmers). Pairing off chefs from around Seattle with Washington Farmers, the event is a night of eating all the best seasonal foods, bidding on wonderful auction items, and supporting Washington farmers.
Please read the descriptions below and let me know which jobs you are interested in.
