Volunteers are the Life-blood of City Slicker Farms, providing the majority of the labor necessary for our success. We encourage people from all walks of life to come work in solidarity with the residents of West Oakland to create a more just system of food distribution.

As an all-volunteer, grassroots organization, our work has been accomplished through an amazing outpooring of volunteer support (over 4,000 hours in 2004), donated materials, and financial contributions from core volunteers.

*Please note we work "drizzle or shine"
