Volunteers

We have a serious need for volunteers with Urban Harvest this year. We would love if you could commit to helping us out! It’ll be fun – I promise! We are looking for people that will be able to set up and tear down the market each week. This is a duty that requires one to admire the sunrise and a strong cup of joe. It requires a light jacket or sweatshirt before the beautiful morning air turns to the heat of the daylight sun. In the evenings, it requires commiseration with talented musicians and artists from the community. Think you can handle it? We’d really appreciate it. Contact director@bismarckurbanharvest.org if you have further questions.
