VOLUNTEER

Delaware educators nurture young minds every day—and they wear many hats. At Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids, we team up with teachers to inspire healthier lives, and we invite community members like you to help us strengthen families across Delaware for generations to come.

Volunteers play a vital role in expanding our reach and deepening our impact. Whether building garden beds, maintaining them, or joining one of our active committees, there is a place for you in our joyful, growing movement.

As a statewide organization operating in all three Delaware counties, we offer meaningful ways to get involved. Complete the form below to join the movement and help “Veggie-cate” the First State—one garden at a time.

HELP IN THE SCHOOL GARDEN

  • Assist our staff as we train teachers in the garden

  • Help build a garden with your friends or colleagues

Want to help us grow our program and have fun at the same time? You can assist our staff in the garden as they train teachers in our HFHK “Education Cultivation” program.

Or you and your colleagues and friends can help build gardens for a one-day team-building exercise (and pick up a few tips for your own garden!) We will work with you to customize these opportunities to fit your time and commitment preferences.
