Agency: Good Food for Good People

Description:

Got some extra time on your hands during spring break? Sign up here to volunteer with other members of the Youth Volunteer Corps as they work to promote healthy eating and sustainable food production.

"Good Food for Good People is a community–first effort organized around the belief that all are deserving of healthy, affordable food. We value all people and the part they play in forming the solution to persistent hunger, poor nutrition and chronic illness caused by an inadequate food system and poor eating habits." - www.goodfoodforgoodpeople.org

Volunteers with Good Food for Good People will be working outdoors to help build a new vegetable garden or indoors to help remodel the kitchen where meals are served to Nashville's homeless.

This project is open to teens age 14 and older. All volunteers under the age of 18 are required to bring a signed Volunteer Release Form with them to each project.
