When City Harvest was founded in 1982, it was run entirely by volunteers who connected a handful of neighborhood restaurants to food programs serving those in need. Now, forty years later, City Harvest volunteers remain a critical part of our food rescue operations.
Our Mobile Market on the North Shore of Staten Island are in high need of volunteers! Mobile Markets are bi-monthly farmer’s market-style distribution of fresh produce to residents of the neighborhoods. As a volunteer, you will help distribute thousands of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to over 400 families. Mobile Markets are a great opportunity to directly interact with the communities that City Harvest serves!
The Stapleton Mobile Markets take place from 8:45 AM-12:00 PM, one weekday and one Saturday a month.
Volunteers will be required to complete an orientation online for this opportunity!
