California Climate Action Corps Service Learning - Farm Discovery at Live EarthAt — Farm Discovery at Live Earth
Farm Discovery is seeking drivers who deliver food donations to local nonprofit organizations concerned with community food insecurity from as far north as Santa Cruz to as far south as Monterey. California Climate Action Corps fellows are also initiating a gleaning program at Live Earth Organic Farm and are looking for service learners to help harvest produce at the end of the growing season to be donated to local food banks. Service learners may also be asked to help clean and sort produce after gleaning.
