Help Grow Fresh Organic Produce for Hunger Relief

Save to Favorites

All are welcome to volunteer at Gaining Ground. We are a volunteer-driven organization that relies on the energy, talent, and enthusiasm of thousands of people. Because of your help, we can grow and donate nutritious, local, organic produce to people in need of fresh, healthy food. Our community of volunteers is broad-based, often including:

• Individuals ages 15 and up
• Families with children ages 5 and up
• Education groups: schools, colleges, alumni, homeschool coops
• Faith-based groups
• Community groups: scouts, camps, senior citizens, civic organizations
• Special needs groups
• Corporate teams

When you arrive, you walk out through the fields to our farm pavilion. You are welcomed and given an introduction to Gaining Ground and our hunger-relief role. Our farmers explain what’s going on at the farm and the tasks they’ve lined up, based on the the skills and abilities of that day’s volunteers. Then, you work alongside our staff -- planting, mulching, cultivating, harvesting, weeding, tarping, washing... At the end of your visit, our farm staff returns with you to the pavilion to share observations and experiences.
