Interested in Volunteering?
ROlling harvest needs your help!
The Bucks County Opportunity Council, Delaware Valley University, Philabundance and United Way of Bucks County have collaborated to grow and package fresh produce to be distributed to Bucks County food pantries.
This charitable initiative, known as Hope of the Harvest, provided 26,735 pounds of produce to Bucks County food pantries in 2015.
Using land provided by Delaware Valley University, the Initiative provided cucumbers, cantaloupes, sweet corn, squash, tomatoes, apples, potatoes, lettuces and much more.
140 Volunteers spent more than 600 hours in the garden during the summer of 2014, and this summer that number has grown! We'll need volunteers in 2016 to stake, sow, seed, weed and package produce in the garden. Groups are welcome!

Do you have mandatory community-service hours to fill? Do you have a friend or family member who enjoys fresh air, exercise, and comaraderie with a purpose?
We are always looking for more volunteers to join our glean team. As part of our gleaning crew, you will spend a couple of hours in nature picking and "rescuing" veggies directly from our farmers’ fields.
The "rescued" produce is then distributed by the Bucks County Opportunity Council's Food Program through its established network of local non-profit pantries and hunger relief agencies, helping neighbors in our community who need it most.
Our volunteers work with local farms, such as Carversville Farm, Sandbrook Meadow Farm, Solly's Farm, and Gravity Hill Farm... just to name a few.
It's fun and rewarding and also a great way to spend time with family and friends!
