Season of Service:
A Volunteer Journey from Farm to Table
Join JVC this fall as we journey from farm to table in Baltimore! Starting with environmental/farming volunteer projects and ending with serving meals to those in need in our community, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Join us for one or all the volunteer projects and see how service can be fun this season!
Cooking:
So many of our community partners, including shelters and after school programs, rely on volunteer help in order to provide food for their clients. Help address food insecurity in our community by cooking and/or preparing meals and spreading cheer.
