Become A Volunteer Today!

Do you live in the Charleston or Summerville area? We would love to have you join us as we work together to grow a healthy end to hunger!

Volunteers of all ages are welcome at Katie’s Krops.

Volunteer opportunities are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. All available opportunities are shared through our volunteer email list. Joining the list and signing up when opportunities are posted is the best way — and the only way — to learn about upcoming garden workdays and other volunteer opportunities.

We understand that everyone has different schedules, and we truly wish we could accommodate every individual request. Katie’s Krops is a very small organization, and we are not able to create individual volunteer times, arrange custom opportunities, or hold spots based on personal schedules.

We are happy to sign off on community service hours for volunteers who complete eligible service opportunities with Katie’s Krops. However, we cannot guarantee a specific number of service hours or opportunities that fit a particular schedule, as all opportunities are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Katie’s Krops is a garden-based nonprofit, so our volunteer opportunities are seasonal and weather dependent. Winter is typically a quieter time with fewer opportunities, while spring and summer are our busiest seasons as our gardens grow, harvest, and provide fresh produce to our community.

Thank you for understanding and, most importantly, thank you for wanting to be part of Katie’s Krops!

We are so grateful for everyone who wants to volunteer with Katie’s Krops! We receive many requests from groups hoping to serve in our garden, at our dinners, and in our classroom.

As a small team, coordinating group opportunities takes significant time and resources, and frequent cancellations and no-shows have made these opportunities difficult to sustain. We also want to protect volunteer opportunities for the young people and families who regularly support us.

For this reason, we are no longer able to accommodate group volunteer days. If you are part of a group, we welcome each person to sign up individually for one of our regularly scheduled volunteer days.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us continue to grow!
