Located at the Hunger Task Force Farm, the School Garden needs seasonal volunteers to help with day-to-day care including weeding, planting, tending and harvesting. Work may include bending, kneeling, or wheelbarrowing. With the 28-bed School Garden, Hunger Task Force provides nutrition education to local students through the Garden to Plate program. With the help of farmers and volunteers, the Nutrition Education Team teaches students about growing food in the School Garden and follow fruits and vegetables from planting to harvesting – produce grown in the garden is used in healthy meals in the demonstration kitchen.
