VOLUNTEER

​​Lend a hand in getting healthy food from farms to families

Throughout the year, the Gleaners organize volunteer projects to harvest, sort, and pack surplus food from local farms for distribution to local food banks, pantries, and meal programs. No experience is necessary—only a willingness and ability to lend a hand in physical, active work.

COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR VOLUNTEERS

Updated November 1, 2022
In order to ensure that our volunteer activities proceed safely and smoothly this season, we are continuing to implement special health & safety protocols for volunteers in accordance with state and CDC guidelines. Please review them carefully before signing up for a shift.
  • All volunteers must complete a short screening prior to joining a trip to verify that they are not at risk of transmitting COVID-19.
  • If any volunteer tests positive for COVID-19 in the 10 days following a volunteer event, they are asked to notify Boston Area Gleaners so that appropriate risk management steps may be taken.
  • Boston Area Gleaners staff are committed to continued precautions against COVID-19. All staff members working with volunteers abide by the protocols above, and sanitize our equipment and facilities regularly.​
  • Please note that carpooling will not be coordinated by the Gleaners this season.
