RE: Volunteer Garden?

F* C*

I use a lot of volunteers.  one source is PATH - Presbyterian Answer to
Hunger, lots of youth ministries do service work.  another is a local
Americorps program, another is local private schools that have service
requirements, another is local universities that have student activity
programs, and of course friends and relatives.  here in Atlanta there is an
organization (www.handsonatlanta.org) that is a clearing-house for
volunteers.  we also promote and host three "open volunteer days" each year.
there is also the possibility of redirected volunteers from large
hunger-fighting organizations that experience occasional surpluses.

they say the key is to feed them.

Good Morning,

I have been organizing a hunger relief garden in New Berlin, WI...and I am
having a difficult time recruiting volunteers. A few individuals have 
agreed to help, but they cannot commit to a set schedule. Any ideas on 
how I might attract volunteers? Anyone in the Milwaukee area interested
in this worthy project?
