Project Grow is looking for a motivated volunteer interested in coordinating and documenting our food donations across the organization. Each garden operates individually, and makes donations to different local food shelters and distribution centers. We are interested in ensuring that each garden has the ability to donate food successfully, as well as to better understand how much food we donate as a whole and where it goes.
