Special event
Help us make the 2026 Harvest Celebration happen
Harvesting Power is our biggest event of the year, and it takes a powerful team to pull off — setting up, prepping food, keeping the night flowing, and everything in between.
Thank you for helping us host this Harvest Celebration for the 12th year running.
1090 S Institute St.
What you'll be part of
A night built around the food, farmers, and stories of Colorado Springs.
Before you sign up
Four things worth knowing.
One signup, many stations
Duties vary across the night. You'll get to indicate your station preference on the day of the event.
Work half, enjoy half
With enough people on the team, everyone should be able to work for half the event and enjoy the other half.
Wear your volunteer shirt
Please wear your Food to Power volunteer shirt if you have one. If you don't, come as you are.
We're looking for 35
That's the full crew. The more hands we have, the lighter the lift is for everyone on it.

Food to Power Farm at the Hillside Hub
Want to learn more about growing your own food or help feed your community? Join the Food to Power Farm and achieve both! This program is seasonal starting in April and ending with the last harvest (typically in November). Come and grow with us!
Compost
On compost volunteer days, community members learn the value of redirecting and reusing our food waste and gain hands-on practice in the different stages of composting. These days are scheduled based on weather conditions. Tend to the piles and decompose with us.
