Volunteers are the lifeblood of what we do. In 2023, more than 20,000 people donated more than 54,000 hours of service. That’s the equivalent of 26 full-time employees. Without your help, we simply couldn’t fulfill our mission.
Volunteer Opportunities
We welcome individuals and groups to help sort and repackage bulk donations at our distribution centers in Latham and Cornwall-on-Hudson. In season, we invite volunteers to assist at our farm in Voorheesville.
At our distribution centers, you will sort bulk donations received and get them ready to go to our neighbors in your community.
At our farm, you’ll help plant, water, feed, pick, and otherwise get the various vegetables, herbs and flowers we grow ready to get into the hands of neighbors in your community.
