Location: 680 West Thrasher Drive, Bronson, FL 32621
Website: www.childrenstable.org
Overview:
The Children’s Table is a nonprofit organization serving rural families across North Central Florida. We provide nutritious food through weekly and mobile food distributions, and we also operate a 5-acre community teaching garden where Master Gardeners from the University of Florida Agriculture Extension Office teach families how to grow their own vegetables. Our goal is simple: no one goes hungry.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
- Help pack and distribute food to families at our Bronson site or mobile locations.
- Load and unload food donations and assist with organization in our warehouse.
- Support our community garden by planting, watering, harvesting, and preparing for classes.
- Greet clients with kindness and help maintain an efficient, welcoming environment.
- Assist with community events, fundraising sales, or outreach activities as needed.
Qualifications:
- A caring attitude and willingness to serve families in need.
- Ability to lift 20–30 lbs. for distribution or warehouse roles.
- Comfortable working outdoors in varying conditions.
- No prior experience required—training is provided.
- Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Schedule:
- Regular volunteer days are Mondays and Thursdays at our Bronson site, starting around 8:00 a.m.
- Garden volunteers are welcome on Tuesdays and Fridays at our Williston farm (17950 NE 53rd Lane).
- Flexible schedules and one-time opportunities are available.
How to Get Started:
The best way to start is by joining us on a Monday morning during our large food distribution. Please call Stacey at (352) 721-5406 for details or to arrange a time to volunteer.
Impact:
Your time helps feed hundreds of families each week and teaches lasting skills for self-sufficiency. Together, we’re feeding families, teaching skills, and strengthening our community.
