Testimonials

“

As a volunteer with Growing to Give, I work with an amazing, multigenerational group of people committed to the mission that high-quality produce should be made available to everyone. We work hard while having a lot of fun!

Cathy, Growing to Give volunteer

“

So often, the bulk of our regular donations include produce at the end of its life; what a delight for folks to be able to have firm tomatoes and fresh root veggies that they could store for later use or preserve.

Sarah, Freeport Community Services Food Pantry

I feel good about the work I do when I volunteer at Growing to Give. I like being outside, using my hands and learning about plants and farming. I enjoy meeting other volunteers and hearing their stories.
