Description of the Volunteer Opportunity: 

We offer 8-item Weekly Shares of produce on a Sliding Scale from $5-$25. Our goal is to provide healthy options to as many folks as possible regardless of their financial situation, ability, age, and physical location. We pack our orders on Tuesday evenings, for delivery on Wednesdays. The Weekly Shares are dropped at convenient pickup locations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and a few places in between. The Shares include a variety of food from local farms in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe area as well as other familiar foods that everyone loves, like avocados & bananas!

We primarily need help on Tuesday evenings filling orders for our delivery on Wednesday. Volunteers will assist in packing our Weekly Shares. We have a core group of volunteers that come weekly because they enjoy the experience and the team atmosphere and they feel it is a great way to have a hands-on impact in their community. Join us! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, we look forward to meeting you!
