Do you enjoy gardening or have an interest in learning? Would you like to help provide fresh local food to low-income families? We are looking for volunteers to help us collect the produces, tend the gardens, run farmer markets, and distribute more than half of our produces to Boston Medical Center Food Pantry, Rosie's place, and BPHC. Our gardens are in Mattapan, Roxbury, South End, and Dorchester.

We're at two local markets from June to October: Copley Square Market on Tuesday's 11am to 6pm, and Allston-Brighton Market on Wednesday at 2pm to 630pm.

Also, we are looking for volunteers to lead cooking workshops during the summer. We have additional opportunities to support our overall operations, including improving the level of the organization budget, tracking and measuring yields and community impact, grant writing, community engagement, social media, and donor management.

We are very flexible - join us on the weekdays or weekends!
