Join us Sunday as we build up our urban farm-based nonprofit, EmpoweRanch, for our outdoor educational and therapeutic recreation programs!
Volunteer for any amount of time between 9am-11am.
We have projects for all ages and abilities. For the safety and health of our animals and yours, please do not bring pets (service animals only - please advise if bringing a service animal so we can accommodate as our ranch dogs often attend our volunteer days).
For groups larger than six, or to schedule a different volunteer time/group volunteer project, contact Jessi at JessiV@EmpoweRanch.org
Please WEAR:
boots/closed-toe shoes
comfortable, weather-appropriate clothes that you don't mind getting dirty/painted on
sunscreen/hat/sunglasses
Please BRING:
Water/drinks
work/garden gloves
any garden tools
snacks (if you wish)
We are accepting donations of paint/brushes, 10x10 shed or larger, drip irrigation system, plants, seeds, and garden supplies.
PRO-TIPS:
If you're a gardener and would like aged "happy horse compost", we're giving it away by the bag or truckload!
If you're hungry, you can also visit The Farm at South Mountain next door for farm-to-table fare!
As always, we will have hand-wash stations and hand sanitizer available. We're following local and national guidelines for the outdoors, and we request that everyone respect each other's space and health while on property.
