New Jersey Farmers Against Hunger Volunteer Leader Team

The New Jersey Agricultural Society’s Farmers Against Hunger (FAH) program will be forming its first Volunteer Leader Team to help support the mission of the organization. Farmers Against Hunger was founded in 1996 as a program within the New Jersey Agricultural Society as farmers wanted to see their unsold produce go to people in need. Today, FAH collects and distributes over 1 million pounds of fresh produce and delivers this produce to over 70 community organizations. Farmers Against Hunger utilizes over 1200 volunteers to help harvest excess produce, which feeds 7,000 people weekly throughout the harvest season.

The 2012 Volunteer Leader Team is a great opportunity for teen leaders, college students, recent grads, retirees and anyone who enjoys volunteering. Volunteers will receive training and will have the opportunity to select a leadership role from areas including Gleanings, Fundraisers, Outreach, and Marketing. 

Come join the fun in helping an agricultural organization whose mission is to help provide fresh produce to those in need. All volunteers will attend at least one Training Meeting and commit to at least one event or task leading up to an event. Volunteer meetings will be held bi-monthly (May, July, September, November).
