Volunteers
Are you passionate about local food?
Do you want to contribute to your community in a meaningful way?
Do you have a few hours to spare? Once a year? Once a season? Once a month?
Volunteers are the heart of the Ottawa Valley Food Co-operative.
Sharing the tasks means being an integral part of building a local food system that benefits our rural economy and provides fresh, healthy food to everyone!
