Afri-Can FoodBasket Youth Volunteers at Falstaff Harvest Festival

Volunteers and Interns play a vital role in sustaining and developing our programs and initiatives which make a difference in the lives of youth and their families. The Afri-Can FoodBasket could not exist without this essential support.

Volunteers are provided with many different ways to serve:  supporting garden based projects, developing curriculum kits and materials, supporting  garden club, getting your hands dirty in one of our community gardens, and much more.
