HELP OUT: Florence Fang Community Farm

Project Overview

Florence Fang Community Farm is a nonprofit organization dedicated to food security, urban agriculture, environmental education, and workforce development. Volunteers will support essential farm operations through seasonal tasks such as planting, weeding, harvesting, composting, mulching, watering, and general farm maintenance. Volunteer activities directly support our youth education, community food distribution, and urban farming programs.

• The site is outside on a farm, please wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting dirty, closed-toe shoes suitable for uneven terrain, and dress appropriately for the weather. We also recommend bringing a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat.
