Get Involved
It’s Fun, It’s Friendly, It’s Nourishing, It Makes Sense!
Get Involved – We want YOU!
There are many ways to participate…and we can find a job that is right for you. Only have a weekend? Consider helping with a harvest. Want to get your hands dirty? We have lots of projects. If your talent lies in communications, we have several fundraising events. Or, if you are a private property owner with a fallow field, you might want to consider opening your property up for community gardens. Finally, if you or your neighbors have a fruit tree that is bountiful and you want to share, contact us and we will help harvest your crop and donate it to Helpline House.
