Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart of The Commons! We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the support of our amazing volunteers. With five staff and over 65 volunteers, we get things done with the kindness and dedication of community members. If you are interested in volunteering, there are many ways to get involved.
How to Sign Up:
We also encourage everyone to register for volunteer opportunities through The Volunteer Center (TVC). All of our needs are listed there including dates, times, capacity, and other specific details. If you use TVC, you will get reminders of upcoming needs you’ve registered for and you can easily track your total hours. Not only is The Commons a part of this platform, but so are 37 other organizations in Grant County.

Donate Food
We always welcome food donations! We kindly ask for non-perishable and non-expired food items. Whether it’s canned goods, pasta, rice, or any other shelf-stable items, every donation is appreciated and valued!

Donate Funds
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, The Commons: Center for Food Security and Sustainability relies on the support of the community to carry out our mission.
