Youth Volunteer Elise, featured in the Press Democrat, helps delivers meals at Ceres with her mom. We currently have a shortage of volunteers and especially need help delivering meals. If Elise's story inspires you, considering volunteering with us too! bit.ly/3QzHUSV

Do you have some extra mason jars you'd be willing to donate? We need extra narrow-mouth pint jars to hold flowers at our biggest fundraising event, Harvest of the Heart. We don't need the tops, just the jar part. Please email us at info@ceresproject.org to donate. Thanks!
