Very easy and straight forward work. The seniors at this location were super friendly and happy to see us helping out! As long as you keep on task everything should run smoothly! Would definitely recommend attending this event to anyone! I plan on returning to volunteer with family soon.

This is a very fulfilling volunteer opportunity. Not only are we contributing to hunger alleviation, which is very fulfilling, but the self-satisfaction of planting and harvesting produce and seeing the fruits of your own labor is also very rewarding.

I worked with Kate as my leader, and enjoyed participating more than I imagined. These classes really give you an opportunity to educate willing participants in the areas of cooking and nutrition. They look up to you for guidance and it becomes a really humbling experience for anyone who volunteers. Plus, you get hands on experience with a chef and are able to cook dishes that are really good and budget friendly.
