Description
Help feed your community with Today's Harvest, powered by Open Cupboard. Today's Harvest relies on the hard work of volunteers like you to serve families in need, so this role is perfect for anyone looking for a physically active and fun way to help their community!
Today’s Harvest is a new way for people to access fresh, healthy food. A different type of food access model, it works to increase food access while also reducing food waste in the community. The food people choose from will change every day based on our food rescue. The market is a quick and easy way for people to stretch their food budget. Every visit, they will get a 1 to 2 day supply of fresh produce, bread, meat and other foods. People are welcome to visit the market as often as they need it.
Today’s Harvest is open six days a week. There is a lot to do every day, and we wouldn't be able to do it without our incredible volunteers.
