Interested in Volunteering?


Volunteer Opportunities

FJNWA is more than an organization—it’s a community-led movement. By volunteering, you become part of a grassroots effort to build food justice, increase access, and transform how our neighborhoods nourish themselves. Whether you have one hour or a whole season, your time makes a tangible impact.

Join us at gardening days, farmers markets, and community events! Please visit our volunteer page for a list of upcoming opportunities and registration details.
