Volunteers
Volunteers are the heart of Growing to Give. We have a volunteer governing board and two volunteer co-directors. We rely on field volunteers to help us plant and weed. We partner with the Merrymeeting Gleaners and the Androscoggin Gleaners to harvest and deliver food. Volunteers also help with events, board work, and fundraising.
In addition, larger groups from schools, churches, and other organizations come periodically to help with larger projects. In 2018, we had groups from:
- All Saint’s Parrish Sunday School
- Bowdoin College
- Cheverus High School
- Cooperative Extension Master Gardener’s class participants
- Frolic Ultimate Women’s Frisbee Team
- Harpswell Coastal Academy
- Maine Coast Waldorf School
- Saint Mary’s Nutrition Center’s Teen Group
