Volunteer with Today’s Harvest

Today’s Harvest is the first of its kind model for increasing food access in our community. We rely on the hard work of generous and dedicated volunteers like you for everything we do.

We need your help to to pick up rescued food, sort and stock food, and help our shoppers. We ask that most volunteers commit to serving two or more shifts per month, though many of our volunteers serve more than once a week. Please keep in mind that most positions at Today’s Harvest require being on your feet on a concrete floor throughout your shift.
