About this event

Veggielution's Del Campo a la Mesa (CALM) program provides 100 farm boxes weekly to families with children ages 0 to 5 in collaboration with First 5 California. We also distribute 50 farm boxes monthly to Grail Family Services. We are seeking volunteers to help us pack these boxes! Once the boxes are packed, we will transition over to other farm tasks as-needed. Activities include but are not limited to weeding, transplanting, seeding, cleaning, etc. Sign-up below under the “Where can I sign-up” section by clicking the “Volunteer Registration” button. Your volunteerism is an essential part of our success, and we look forward to welcoming you at the farm!

All volunteers must sign-in upon arriving to the farm, which includes a liability waiver. You must be age 13 or older to volunteer on the farm. Middle and High School students, ages 13 to 17, MUST be accompanied by a parent/guardian/chaperone.

*Note on Weather: In the event we need to cancel a volunteer event due to extreme weather, we will notify you via email, otherwise please assume we will hold volunteer events rain or shine, and dress accordingly.

*Note on Volunteer Hours: We are happy to sign off on hours if you need them, however, we ask that you please provide your own form or letter for us to sign. Veggielution staff will only sign-off on hours if a form is provided at time of volunteering.

*Note on Dress Code: No jewelry, body piercings, rhinestones, dangling strings, ear buds or other items that can fall off into the growing area, packing area, or harvested product are allowed. Volunteers will be asked to remove items and store in a safe place or cover with tape.
