Volunteer with HDFFA

Get Your Hands Dirty!

We believe that everyone deserves good food. To make this happen, we rely on volunteers to support our work.  This could mean harvesting fresh produce on a farm, filling a spice packet, or being on an Advisory Committee. We have a variety of opportunities that are offered throughout the year, with the greatest amount in the summer and early fall when local food is in abundance in Central Oregon! All volunteer opportunities are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

HDFFA’s programs would not be possible without volunteers like you. Please see below to sign up for current opportunities. Through volunteering you are helping make local food more accessible for everyone. Thank you!  

For questions about individual or group volunteering, contact heather@hdffa.org.

HDFFA has a strong and ongoing need for volunteers. Your support plays a vital role in the success of our programs, our support of farmers and ranchers, and valued partners and sponsors.

Any time you’re able to give makes a real difference in our community and helps our work thrive year-round. Whether you’re excited to get out on local farms and get your hands dirty gleaning crops, jump in to help run events or workshops, assist with dropping off or picking up produce donations, or simply be there to lend a hand where needed—every bit helps, and every role truly matters!

Our volunteer positions are typically family-friendly, and kids are welcome (as long as you’re there to keep an eye on them!).

Without people like you, we couldn’t do what we do. You help make our community a better place to live.
