Feed Your Amazing Soul by Volunteering to Help Grow Fresh Food in Detroit

National Volunteer Week for 2024 kicks off the week of April 22nd! Volunteering in your community is important for so many reasons. Not only is it good for the community, but it is also good for your soul. I know for me, whenever I volunteer, I feel such a sense of purpose and fulfillment that just feels so incredibly rewarding. I try to volunteer any time that I can and I love getting the kids involved too. Why Volunteering is Important There are so many valuable reasons to volunteer. First, you can give back to your community and make a direct impact in the lives of your fellow humans. Second, it could be an opportunity for you to learn new skills and gain some great experience in an area that you may or may not be familiar with. Third, it also helps the collective by giving you the chance to volunteer with others from your community.

They are a great non-profit whose mission is "cultivate a food sovereign city where the majority of fruits and vegetables consumed by Detroiters are grown by residents within the city’s limits."
