Join DC Central Kitchen and Franciscan Monastery in NE!

Save to Favorites

Join us at the beautiful Franciscan Monastery (NE Washington DC) to help tear down their farm for the end of the season. Franciscan Monastery is a generous donor of produce that is used to create community meals at DC Central Kitchen. These nutritious meals are sent out to 80 social service agencies around Washington, DC.

Volunteers should bring lots of water and plan to glean crops from 9am - 12 pm or until the crop runs out.

Dress Code
Please wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, socks, long sleeves and, in general, dress appropriately for the weather. Sunscreen, bug repellent and hats are strongly recommended for all volunteers.
