Yu Meh Food Share
Project Worthmore is making every effort to ensure our clients have fresh produce. Help bag and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, and household necessities to our clients.
Care Packages
Project Worthmore distributes care packages filled with household and hygiene necessities. These items can be costly and hard for families to afford, so we count on generous volunteers like you to help us in this effort.
English Conversation Groups
Help us create environments where students can practice English, ask questions, and experience community. We are seeking volunteers to play a wide variety of roles- to serve as conversation partners, to improvise role plays, to engage in multilingual group activities, to practice specialized vocabulary for citizenship prep, and to participate in ongoing language exchanges. Even if you’re not available to commit regularly, you can help us harness the power of community.

DeLaney Community Farm
Get outside, enjoy some sunshine and exercise, and support our farm. Volunteers help with planting, weeding, harvesting, and packaging beautiful produce to be distributed to our clients, farm members, and restaurant partners.
Events
Our events are an opportunity for all to unite to show solidarity for our community. We hold several small events throughout the year and our annual gala in September. Stay tuned for volunteer opportunities!
