VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids
Growing School Gardens, Growing Healthy Futures
Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids, also known as First State School Garden Experts, offers fun, hands-on volunteer opportunities that bring people of all ages together to support school gardens.
Volunteers may help build garden beds, pack seeds for students, and take part in seasonal projects throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
“I volunteer with Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids because I believe it’s important to give back selflessly to others. A school garden helps strengthen our connection to the Earth, and teaching children about healthy foods is essential—they are our future. Plus, I just love digging in the dirt!”
HFHK Volunteer
