Volunteer at an Organic Farm

Save to Favorites

WHAT WE WILL DO:

Project Helping volunteers will help Ekar Farm with a work project on the farm. Depending on the need of the farm, this could be planting, irrigation, fertilizing, or weeding. Join us for some fun in the dirt!

OTHER DETAILS:

Ekar Farm is an urban farm dedicated to educating the community about sustainable agriculture practices and food justice, and donating fresh, healthy organic produce to local food banks. Every Sunday throughout the growing season, families have made Ekar a part of their activities. Planting tomato and cucumber seeds, and tending the land is a wonderful place for families to share old wisdom with the next generation. Through the act of volunteering, you are actively investing in your community while also improving your mental wellness! Volunteering is proven to have numerous health benefits including improved mood, feeling healthier, increased sense of purpose and reducing stress levels. Volunteering can also give us a deep sense of happiness, both immediately and long-term. * 94% of people who volunteer say that volunteering improves their mood. * 96% of people who volunteer say that volunteering enriches their sense of purpose. This is just some of the science that supports the mission at Project Helping and outlines why it’s so beneficial to do good things for others. We call that practicing Kyndfulness. #BeKyndBeWell Once you register, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details. We’ll also send a reminder email and a text a few days before the event! More Questions? Email Project Helping at volunteer@projecthelping.org or call 303-551-0624
