  1. Spread the good word! Why do you care about real food? We need some extra peoplepower to chat with folks at various tabling eventsaround the state. You’ll get more events (and probably great snacks if you do it right!) if you’re available on the weekend!
  2. Do you have time to make runs around your city to stash our Good Food Guide? (Don’t worry — the store managers already know what’s up!) Get in touch!
Email Kate at katek@georgiaorganics.org if you want in!






Office Volunteers
We are a small staff and the truth is that we owe the scale of our impact to the volunteer support we receive in the office. If you have daytime availability and you are in the Atlanta area, please give us a call to schedule a time to work with us.  Let us know if you have a particular skill set that you think we may be able to utilize or if you are interested in acquiring new skills for your resume. We want this to be a mutually beneficial experience.  Contact Anika if you are interested at anika@georgiaorganics.org or 678-702-0400 ext. 203.

Send us your events!
Anywhere, GA
The “Events” section of our website is intended to be a one stop shop resource for all fun organic food and farm related events in the state.  We need your help learning about events that are happening in your area.  Please forward public invitations or event postings to Brooke at brooke@georgiaorganics.org and we will get them up on our site.
