Volunteers register on our website and can find volunteer opportunities for the upcoming week in our volunteer newsletter, which gets sent out every Saturday morning. There is no obligation to sign up for specific trips, and no previous training or skills are required to participate. You choose what date, time, and location works best for you.

About Hope's Harvest

Hope's Harvest, a program of Farm Fresh RI, mobilizes volunteers to rescue surplus food from local farms that would otherwise have gone to waste and distribute it to hunger relief agencies across Rhode Island. This practice, known as "gleaning," reduces food waste on farms, improves food security in our local communities, provides economic opportunities for local farmers through contracting and surplus purchasing, and improves community resilience by increasing the amount of locally grown produce consumed in RI.

Hope’s Harvest RI partners with farmers and food pantries to ensure that our friends and neighbors in need have access to fresh, nutritious fruits and vegetables and our volunteers get their hands dirty making a tangible, positive difference for their communities.

Volunteering is a great way to help others and give back to your community while also developing greater fluency in Spanish through weekly practice of speaking and comprehension skills. Our In School Tutoring and Mentoring program gives you the opportunity to be in a classroom on a weekly basis to form trusted relationships with public elementary school students. One hour a week is all it takes to make a tremendous impact on you and your students! 

The children we serve will love you being in the classroom and will keep asking for you to come back week after week. Knowing and practicing Spanish will make them light up and express their authentic selves. Teaching experience is not necessary, we provide training and the teachers provide the materials. Let us connect you to Providence students in Dual Language and ELL classrooms who will most benefit from the additional multilingual attention!

The Rhode Island Black Business Association’s (RIBBA) historic and groundbreaking work in the advocacy and policy space has created awareness of the plight of small businesses in Rhode Island.
