Community Harvest Mondays is a weekly volunteer gathering rooted in stewardship, shared labor, and food access. Each Monday, community members join us in the field to support seasonal maintenance and harvest fresh produce for local food distribution.
Volunteers participate in hands-on agricultural work, planting, weeding, harvesting, washing, and packing, while learning how food moves from soil to community. A portion of each harvest supports local food access efforts, helping ensure fresh, culturally relevant produce reaches families in our area. Volunteers are also invited to take home a share of the harvest as appreciation for their time and contribution.
This is an opportunity to build practical skills, connect with the land, and take part in a consistent, meaningful effort to grow and share food with dignity and care.
No prior experience is necessary. All are welcome.

Whether you are just getting started or have been leading for years, this space is designed to help you keep your work strong, safe, and sustainable. Resource sharing is encouraged, so if someone mentions a need or opportunity during the session, feel free to offer support, connections, or tools that may help.
What to Expect:

Open Q&A with a nonprofit and business attorney
Practical, plain-language answers
Peer learning and connection across organizations and businesses
Opportunities to share resources, connections, and support with one another
