Giving Good

Common Ground Relief believes in learning service not Service Learning. We want our volunteers to learn about the issues and people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

Our programs are structured to help the volunteer increase their ability to effect change in the future while providing solidarity and support for our coastal communities. We hope that volunteers gain experience, perspective and skills while they are with us.

Gleaning is our most popular volunteer activity. When we glean, we go into a field to pick any produce that is left behind after harvest, but is still healthy, fresh, and edible. The food that we harvest helps us feed the hungry and we get to educate the public about the work that goes into getting food from the farm to the table
