    Description

    Help Us Fight Cancer by Growing Organic Food! Volunteer Gardeners Needed!

    Our mission is to create programs that teach people how organic food may improve our health and to give free organic food to cancer patients in the Kansas City Metro Area.

    Food for the Cure is in need of regular volunteers. We grow organically on 2 rented plots located at the St. Peter and All Saints Episcopal organic community garden l00 E Red Bridge Rd. Kansas City, MO 64114 every year. We will usually work at this garden location on Wednesdays 5-7pm. We also have a new location at Norfleet Baptist Church we are working on. The plan for this location we plan to work on it on Saturdays.

    You will be added to our volunteer email list to see what days we will be working in the garden. Please only signup if you can make these days and times as for the most part, that is when we work in the garden.

    Our mission is to create programs that teach people how organic food may improve our health and to give free organic food to cancer patients in the Kansas City Metro Area.

    For our needs, we need gardeners that can help setup, plant, harvest, and maintain the garden! Come join the Food for the Cure family and help cancer patients all while volunteering your time at our 48'x30' garden. We run on 100% volunteers and donations. So, every little bit of volunteering helps us greatly!

    Please only apply if you intend to come to the garden and be willing to do some hard work and learn. But, with that you are feeding some of the sickest people in our community! Please feel free to check us out at www.foodforthecure.org.

    Thank you for your time!
