All are welcome to help in Gaining Ground's gardens!
Please click here to
read our new Volunteer Guidelines for the 2010 season.
We are a volunteer-driven organization that relies on the energy, talent,
and enthusiasm of hundreds of people.
We offer hands-on educational and community service opportunities for
individuals and groups. Volunteering at Gaining Ground offers:
a chance to engage in meaningful work
knowledge of where food comes from and how it grows
a chance to see a variety of plant and animal life, and
a change of scene from your usual environment.
In 2009, volunteers contributed a record 7,500 hours of their time to
work and learn in our gardens. Under the guidance of our professional
farmer and her crew, volunteers helped us grow and give away over
23,000 pounds of fresh food for hunger relief.

While working at Gaining Ground there are inherent risks. Every reasonable effort will be made
to emphasize safe working habits. You understand and accept these risks and will hold Gaining
Ground and the Town of Concord harmless for any and all injuries suffered in the course of
volunteering.
