 from for feeding the poor? Care to volunteer your time helping us tend our

 following goals:\n\n•help make locally grown, fresh and nutritious 
 organic produce accessible to all, especially those families and 
 individuals on low-incomes and tight budgets.\n\n•help empower people who 
 have the space to grow their own food and become more 
 self-reliant.\n\n•promote good nutrition and health\n\nWhat we 
 do:\n\n•We grow as much food as can in our Mission neighborhood and 
 distribute it for free at our Sunday Free Farm Stand.\n\n•We offer garden 
 advice and help to those who want to put in a backyard garden.\n\n•We 
 grow seedlings and starts to give away and other plants.\n\n•We offer a 
 place where neighbors can come and share their extra produce that they have 
 grown with others.\n\n•We provide a drop-off place for local organic 
 surplus food from both local gardeners and organic farmers.\n\n•We offer 
 a weekly gathering spot where neighbors can get to know each other and 
 share their diverse cultures and traditions.\n\n•We harvest organic fruit 
 from backyard fruit trees and public spaces give away it away at the Free 
 Farm Stand.\n\n•We give away honey from local bee keepers and educate 
 neighbors about bees and gentle beekeeping.\n\n•We are working with the 
 San Francisco Permaculture Guild on a number of food growing projects to 
 turn a vacant lot on Potrero Hill into a Permaculture mini-farm that will 
 grow food that will go to the Free Farm Stand and other groups that 
 distribute food to the hungry.\n\n•We are working with about fifteen kids 
 that attend Jamestown after school program, teaching them about gardening 
 and where our food comes. We work with them to gain a sense of care for 
 their community.\n\nThe Free Farm Stand happens on Sundays 1-3pm. For more
