GRuB cherishes every person who walks through our door, and our volunteers are the heart of the organization.
Volunteers help us fulfill and expand our mission by sharing their time, energy, and skills on the farm, in the kitchen, building backyard gardens, and more.
Volunteers’ enthusiasm and generosity shape GRuB’s space, relationships, and programs and is utterly priceless. In 2017 alone, 196 individual volunteers contributed over 5,700 hours of their time (equivalent to nearly three full-time staff). Wow! Imagine the things we are able to accomplish with all that help!
