The Farm at at VYCC uses our 400 acres of land in Richmond, VT to improve food security for all Vermonters. Our Health Care Share program provides area youth with employment, leadership and agricultural skills, all while growing and donating to more than 400 Member Families through partnerships with Health Care Providers across the state. In 2017, we grew and donated over 80,000 pounds of produce that helped Vermont families live a healthier lifestyle. We hope to expand the impact of our program in 2018, and need your help to produce the fresh fruits and vegetables that will support over 500 families across Vermont through the 5-month program!
This is our last volunteer opportunity for the 2018 season! We need help packing up around 200 vegetable shares for our health care provider partners throughout Chittenden and Washington County. We will be preparing and portioning out winter vegetables into bags and boxes, most of the work will be inside a sheltered area, but be prepared to work outside in the Vermont winter.
Volunteer as an individual or bring a group! Our volunteer shifts are 9am-12pm or 1-4pm…or come for the whole day and take a lunch break with us 12-1pm.
If you’re interested in contributing to the food security of Vermont families through meaningful and hard work, please get in touch with us! For more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Claire Londagin at volunteer@vycc.org. We look forward to seeing you on the Farm!
