Harvests and Other Volunteer Events

Before signing up for an event, please be sure that you and each person signing up has registered previously on the Volunteers page. If you have already registered as a volunteer you do not have to do so again. Each adult must sign up separately for events. To sign up for an event, click on the 'Sign up for this event' button. Once you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email with the exact address and detailed information about the event. If the roster is full, your name will be added to a waiting list and you will receive an email if anyone ahead of you cancels their spot.

Move the mouse over harvests on the calendar to see details and a sign up link below the calendar. Green harvests have roster openings left; yellow harvests have a waiting list.

Join us at Ulu La‘au (Waimea Nature Park) in Waimea at 3pm to enjoy some good food and even better company before our busy season kicks in. No need to sign up. If you can, bring a dish to share, a blanket, reusable dishes, and a spirit of connection as we take a moment to pause, reflect, and simply enjoy being outside with one another. It's Waimea, so don't forget a sweater! Hope to see you there!
