Every year, millions of pounds of fresh produce go to waste while communities face food insecurity. Our produce preservation program connects passionate volunteers with surplus fruits and vegetables, transforming them into shelf-stable goods that feed families year-round.
This volunteer application is designed for community members who want to make a tangible impact on food waste and hunger. Whether you're an experienced canner, a freezing coordination expert, or someone eager to facilitate workshops that teach others these vital skills, we need your help.
