TYPES OF ROLES
FRUITFULL COMMITMENT
Different roles (Volunteer & Employed) have varying levels of commitment, and you can choose a role that best fits your availability as all shifts are self-scheduled. Fruit Pickers and Produce Gleaners are more flexible roles where you can volunteer whenever you're able. Harvest & Gleaning Leaders are considered core roles, and we expect a consistent commitment throughout the season.
To ensure the Produce Gleaning runs smoothly, any team member can choose from a variety of roles in the harvest and gleaning processes. There is no limit to the number of roles a volunteer can select. Once a general orientation is completed, all volunteers will also be authorized as Fruit Pickers and Market Gleaners. If interested in Employment, please notate interest when submitting application or reach out to us (info@befruitfull.org).
Harvest & Gleaning Leaders

Market Gleaner
(Volunteer)
The lifeline of our harvest/gleaning operations and are essential in our Community Sharing Model. They collect the available produce for gleaning, weigh the gleaned produce, and report their findings to the harvest leader. Finally, they assist in distributing it to the local food pantry for pickup.
Fruit Pickers

Have the flexibility to choose preferred time and location by joining any of the scheduled picks organized by the Harvest Leaders. Those who wish to participate in eight or more outings per season can apply to join a neighborhood team, which gives them priority access to sign up for picks in their community.
