Description

Sharing the Harvest is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven community farm that was established in 2006 as a grassroots response to hunger at the local level. The farm’s mission is to alleviate hunger, promote volunteerism, and provide agricultural education on the south coast of Massachusetts.

Join us on September 11, 2019 and help us harvest some of the many vegetables that we have been growing all summer long! 100% of the produce grown on the farm is donated to south coast families in need through United Way of Greater New Bedford's Hunger Commission.

Volunteering at the farm is a fun way to get outdoors, learn about sustainable farming, and give back to the community!

We provide any tools needed for the day, and we also have gardening gloves available, but feel free to bring your own if you have a pair you prefer. Other things you may want to know in advance:

  • Dress in layers and expect to get muddy!
  • Wear sneakers or boots (no open toed shoes)
  • Hats and sunblock are suggested
  • We have water refill stations, so bring a water bottle

For any other questions please contact SharingtheHarvest@ymcasc.org
