Every year, The Food Project relies on thousands of volunteers to achieve its goal of creating a more just and sustainable food system. Help your community, learn more about growing food, meet and work side-by-side with like-minded members of the Net Impact Boston Professional Chapter, and enjoy getting your hands dirty outside!

During a three-hour working session at the Food Project’s Lynn location, volunteers will help planting, weeding, harvesting, washing vegetables, and preparing beds.
• What to wear: Every participant must wear closed-toe shoes. Please dress appropriately for farm work and the weather. We recommend wearing layers.
• What to bring: Please bring a water bottle. If you prefer working with gloves, you should bring those too.
• What you'll be doing: During your volunteer session, you will participate in educational games and discussion about the food system; cultivate and maintain the land; plant, tend, or harvest fresh vegetables; have fun outside; and make a difference for those who lack healthy affordable food in the Greater Boston area. More information about what to expect can be found here: http://thefoodproject.org/volunteer-faq
• Weather: We work rain or shine. Under severe weather conditions, our farm staff will call you to cancel. If you are concerned about the weather, you can call our farm staff after 7:00 AM.

For safety purposes, each participant must register online at http://thefoodproject.org/participant-registration. Please forward this link to your group members so they can fill it out.
