Summer 2024 Volunteer Opportunities
For the fifth year, Board members Bonnie Acker and Mark Twery will be coordinating weekend work-mornings for ICF and City Market members and volunteers.
Tasks will be varied, quite useful and hopefully very enjoyable for everyone! No gardening or farming experience is necessary, only a love for being out-of-doors! Most weeks will entail weeding to help with veggies bound for ICF members as well as for veggies to be donated to the Vermont Foodbank, the Abenaki Land Link Project, and Feeding Chittenden, amongst other destinations.
City Market members may earn working-member hours (which will be recorded by Bonnie and Mark.)
THE PARTICULARS
WHERE: We'll meet in the ICF parking lot by the pole barn or be in-view nearby!
TIME: 7:00-11:00am
Please feel free to come for the entire time or any part. Every moment of your time will be treasured!

In addition, we may hold some last-minute "pop-up" mornings if the Farm needs additional help!
WEAR: Durable work clothes and footwear, sun-protective hats and sunglasses, and bug-spray are very helpful for farm-projects.
BRING: A water-bottle and work-gloves and a favorite shovel or pitchfork if you have one. We'll have, however, extra gloves and helpful tools to share.
CHILDREN: All will be very welcome if there's an adult with them!
RSVP & QUESTIONS: To sign up or to obtain more information, please contact ICF Board member Bonnie Acker.
Signing up helps us organize tasks and tools, notify you if a morning is cancelled or re-scheduled due to inclement weather, and if there might be a limit on the number of participants.
We're really looking forward to seeing you this summer!
