Current Needs

 

Sunday Produce Bagging Help Needed

We have started picking up produce from the farmers' markets on Saturdays and Sundays and need help in the warehouse bagging produce. You can sign up to help using our online calendar. If you're not already using our online system, please fill out a Volunteer Profile form first.

Summer Teen Program

AFAC is now accepting applications for its summer teen program. Applications and more information are on our website - http://www.afac.org/get_involved/summerteenprogram.php

From 9:30 to 12:30 each weekday during the summer, teens age 14 and older volunteer in AFAC's warehouse and office. Teens may sign up to volunteer 1 or 2 mornings per week. We are very flexible so you can fit your volunteering in around camps and vacations. We use an online calendar so you can sign up for days that are good for you.

Gardening Volunteers Needed

Ball-Sellers House Garden:

Volunteers are needed to help plant and maintain a new AFAC Plot Against Hunger garden at Arlington's oldest house, the Ball-Sellers house (ca. 1760). The house is located in the Glen Carlyn neighborhood. You'll be growing vegetables planted during the colonial period and harvesting them for AFAC clients. Some gardening experience preferred. Want to lend a hand? Contact coordinator Michael Polovina at mspolovina@verizon.net.

Planning your vegetable garden? 

Gardeners from area schools, churches and community gardens have started browsing AFAC’s groaning shelves, to select seeds for their AFAC Plots Against Hunger. If you’re planting for AFAC this year, do stop by AFAC, 2708 S. Nelson Street, for some free seeds.  Monday-Friday, 8:00-4:30 pm, Saturday, 11:30 am -1 pm.  Want to volunteer as a gardener for AFAC?  See:  http://www.plotagainsthunger.afac.org for information.
