Community Harvest Project is a non-profit farm that utilizes volunteers to farm fresh fruits and vegetables for hunger relief. We also run grant-funded and fee-based education programs for pre-K through middle school students on our farm and in classrooms to provide a better understanding of where their food comes from, why fruits and vegetables are important to our bodies, and how we all can build a healthier community.
Education volunteer opportunities involve leading or assisting activities with groups of 15-25 students. Activities are 30-45 minutes long, and could include potting plants, farm tours, nutrition lessons, and vegetable tastings. Most programs take place between 9am and noon on weekdays.
All Volunteer Educators must pass a CORI check to work with students.

Mission Statement
Community Harvest Project (CHP), a 501(c)3 organization, is dedicated to creating healthy and engaged communities through volunteer farming and nutrition education for those who are experiencing food insecurity. Through their volunteer farming, education, and leadership programs they bring thousands of community members together each year. In 2022 they hosted 6,076 volunteer visits that allowed for 1.4 million servings of fruits and vegetables to be grown and donated through partnerships including the Worcester County Food Bank’s hunger relief network, Community Servings, and Hector Reyes House. Through their efforts they provide a significant amount of fresh produce for individuals and families in need in our community who otherwise may not have had access.

Volunteers participate in all facets of the organization, we are volunteer centered and a certified Service Enterprise through the Points of Light Foundation.
