Farm to Family Produce Program Box Packing

Each week of the growing season, the Hunger Coalition purchases produce from Red Door Family Farm and Cattail Organics, both based out of Athens, WI. This produce gets boxed and distributed to agencies in Marathon County. Your team will help pack the fresh, organic produce into 200 boxes that can more easily be distributed.

This opportunity occurs on Tuesday mornings at 10am and is a good fit for individuals or groups of 3-5.
