What It Means to Volunteer at CUESA |
As many of us start the New Year with intention setting, it’s the perfect time to resolve to give back to our local community. Whether helping kids learn cooking skills or educating farmers market visitors, you can grow thriving communities through the power and joy of local food by volunteering with CUESA. You'll also gain valuable skills and make new friends along the way.
Making our farmers markets and education programs possible are hundreds of deeply committed and passionate volunteers who donate their time and talents in support of local farms and healthy communities. In 2019, CUESA volunteers donated more than 5,800 hours of their time. |
