Toward Zero Waste
Help create cleaner, more sustainable events.
Our Toward Zero Waste volunteers work behind the scenes at Local First Arizona events to reduce landfill waste, improve recycling and composting efforts, and educate attendees about sustainable practices. If you're passionate about environmental stewardship and don't mind rolling up your sleeves, this is a hands-on way to make a measurable impact.
Choice Food Pantries
Help connect families with fresh, nourishing food.
Choice Pantry volunteers play a direct role in supporting food access in Mesa and Glendale. Whether sorting donations, stocking shelves or assisting residents during pantry hours, volunteers help create welcoming spaces where community members can access healthy food with dignity and choice.
Community Gardens
Help grow food, skills and community.
Volunteers at our community gardens help create welcoming spaces where neighbors can learn, connect and grow together. From planting and harvesting to composting and garden maintenance, every volunteer shift helps increase food access, support local food systems and strengthen community resilience. No gardening experience is required — just a willingness to dig in and make a difference.
