This event is set to recurring because we host produce recovery events year-round—and we’re always looking for volunteers to help fight food waste and hunger across Ventura County!
Whether you’re looking to join us for a volunteer shift or want to get more involved as a trained Event Leader, there’s a role for you.
💪 Ready to volunteer?
You can sign up for general volunteer shifts anytime—we’d love to have you join us in recovering fresh produce and getting it to communities in need. Check out our recent post in this event page to see what events are coming up in Ventura County, or feel free to check out our full event calendar at community.foodforward.org/events/calendar
🌟 Want to take on more responsibility?
