What volunteer opportunities are available at RHFR?
We have volunteer opportunities in the fields, at distributions, and in the kitchen. The majority of our shifts are gleaning (harvesting surplus) or other field tasks on local farms. We also periodically have shifts at farm market-style food distributions and special events, as well as some opportunities to help transport produce to pantry partners. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive notifications of all of these opportunities. For more information about our nutrition program or to volunteer with our outreach team, visit our Nutrition Education page.
Who are RHFR Volunteers?
Our volunteers are diverse, and include individuals, families, school groups, faith-based organizations, service groups, corporate groups, and anyone who is passionate about our mission of “Connecting local farmers with neighbors in need.” If you are interested in volunteering as a group, please contact Adrienne@rollingharvest.org.
When are RHFR Volunteer Opportunities?
Although we have one consistent weekly farm shift, most of our opportunities are “pop up” shifts in response to farmers’ needs. Distributions, special events and driving opportunities are also as-needed. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive notifications of all of these opportunities. Nutrition outreach team shifts also vary – visit our Nutrition Education page to learn more.
Where are RHFR Volunteer Opportunities?
All of our available shifts will be within our 4-county service region: Bucks and Montgomery Counties in PA, and Mercer and Hunterdon Counties in NJ.
