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.
