Volunteers Matter

Time & Talent

Michael Watts was first introduced to our organization when his wife discovered the farm while looking for flowers for their church’s garden exchange.

He soon began donating to the mission and volunteering to help with big community events like Shop & Share.

“I have three sisters, and women in many contexts are regarded as second class. That’s a great unfairness,” Michael says. “I volunteer to help lift up the women that come here.”

After retiring, Michael found more time to lend his hands on the farm, where his efforts have made a lasting impact. Recently he has been clearing a path and circle seating space in a wooded area on the property for residents.

“To me, taking a walk through the woods is a very calming and spiritual experience.”

Are you looking for a volunteer match for your interests? Our current opportunities, onsite and remote, are listed on our website here.
