If you've been looking forward to volunteering with us this year,
now is your chance to sign up!
We've updated our Volunteer page with lots of different opportunities,
which begin on August 1st and go until the end of the season.
On our Volunteer page, you'll see bullet points under these headings:
Volunteer in the Fields
Free Farm Market Harvesting (SWAT Team). During harvest season, please join our “SWAT Team” and become a Free Farm Market Harvester to harvest crops that will be sent specifically to our Free Farm Markets. We need harvesters daily Monday-Friday 9am-11am, so please sign up for as many shifts as you’d like! Be sure to register so that we know when to expect you. Children are welcome as long as minors are accompanied by an adult.
Join us in the fields for Community Harvest Events, which are scheduled throughout the summer. Some events are planned and others pop up randomly as we need more help in the fields, so please check again for more dates!
Deliver Produce
You can help deliver produce to one of our Free Farm Market℠ locations from August through the beginning of October. We are in need of volunteers for markets in Flemington, Washington, East Orange, and Jersey City.
We can’t thank our volunteers enough for ALL they do to support our mission to grow and give healthy fresh food to our neighbors in need. America’s Grow-a-Row volunteers help glean, harvest, and deliver produce and assist with education programs.
Volunteering for us is one dirty job but our volunteers are always up for the challenge! Teamwork matters - together, we will donate 2.5 million pounds – 10 million servings – of nutritious fresh produce this year.
