ProduceGood's food-recovery program, Market Share, combines the fun of farmers markets with volunteering and picking up fresh, healthy produce to feed a wide variety of San Diego's food insecure. These people include children, seniors, veterans, low and no-income individuals, people in recovery, and those who often struggle to meet their basic nutritional needs.
You will be helping us divert food from landfills to feed those in need by picking up the fresh produce from vendors at the Leucadia Farmers Market which volunteers drive and deliver to our receiving agency partners.
We operate our Market Share program at the Leucadia and Hillcrest Farmers Market every Sunday from 1:00pm - 2:30pm, and the La Jolla Farmers Market from 12:00pm. We are looking for individuals to help us in a one-time capacity, or in an ongoing volunteer position.
If you are interested in helping us drive and deliver the harvest to our receiving agency please contact our Resource Development Lead, Shannon, at producegood.shannon@gmail.com for more information.
REQUIREMENTS:
-If under 18 years old, please be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or chaperone for the duration of the event.
-Ability to lift up to 35 pounds at a time.
-Passion for creating equitable food systems and creating a healthier environment!
