Harvest Help

Our Harvest Help volunteer events are a great opportunity for volunteers to be a part of a main goal we have here; sharing fresh produce with community members who are facing food insecurity. In this event, volunteers will help harvest vegetables and herbs from the field, wash and process the produce, and pack it up. This produce will later be packed into grocery bags on site by Campus Kitchen, who will then deliver it to community members. If community engagement and food justice is something you are interested in, please join us for this event! 

A note to Harvest Help Volunteers:

UGArden is located on 2510 South Milledge Avenue, the very next right turn after you pass the State Botanical Gardens. Look for the cream colored barn, this is where someone from our team will meet you! 

There is a UGA bus route that makes a stop at UGArden called, “Riverbend Connector,” and it is by request only. Simply call UGA Transportation, request the Riverbend Connector for UGArden, and you should be good to go. We also have parking available around the corner from the barn. 

Please be prepared for the weather! Dressing in long pants and layers is recommended, even in the warmer months. Close toed shoes are required, a water bottle recommended. Things like hats and gloves are optional, and we have work gloves here ready for you to use. Rarely do we cancel an event due to the weather, but should that happen, we will do our best to give you a heads up the night before. Please check your email for updates regarding this event.
