HHFB’s Garden & Gleaning programs provide locally-grown fresh fruits and vegetables for free distribution to those in need of emergency food assistance. Volunteers and community supporters are the most important asset our programs have; the more volunteers we have, the more fresh food we can raise and rescue.

No gardening experience is necessary. Volunteers are needed most during the main growing season. However, volunteers can schedule winter shifts to learn about and help with garden planning and program development. Join us any time during regular garden volunteer hours:

Mondays 9am-12pm

Friday 9am-12pm

To check for weather cancellations or special volunteer events, including teen gardening, please visit the Garden & Gleaning calendar. We also welcome school, church and other community groups.  To schedule, please call Cory at (812) 334-8374 or email garden@hhfoodbank.org.
