Become a Volunteer

Our volunteers are central to the success of our efforts. We recognize that volunteering is a privilege, and that not all people are able to donate their time and resources. To protect those in our community who are most disadvantaged, we ask that you only apply to volunteer if you’re already able to meet the basic needs or your household. We’re committed to cultivating spaces in which all queer people can grow and share in the beauty of the queer experience. As a volunteer, you will help tend to the community gardens, harvest fresh produce, work directly with our collective members and leaders on various needs, and engage with the collective’s social events. It’s through volunteer engagement that the Queer Food Growing Collective can expand as an organization and foster perseverance, healing, and hope.

Join the Collective

The Queer Food Growing Collective is committed to expanding community garden spaces both globally and within South Africa. As a local organization based in Observatory, Cape Town, we offer Food Growing Starter Kits to individuals interested in starting gardens in their own backyards. For more information, and to receive your Queer Food Growing Starter Kit, fill out the contact form on our contact page. You will receive detailed instructions on how to collect your kit and become part of our growing network of ecological empowerment.

Donate/Starter Kit

We invite you to donate to the Queer Food Growing Collective to help fund our Starter Kits and expand our network of queer opportunity, resilience, and sustainability. Each donation allows us to support queer people in restoring their human dignity, confront the realities of food insecurity, develop inclusivity, and create hope. Use the donation boxes below to become part of our network. We thank you for your generosity.
