Angelica Village has a large organic/biodynamic garden, which we use to supply our 8 households and thrice-weekly community meals. On Saturday March 28th at 9 am, we have a community-wide garden workday!
We need help with planting, weeding, and a general clean up to get our garden ready for this next season.
Some tasks require squatting and bending over, as well as lifting, and there are a few stairs down to our garden, as well.
There will be further opportunities to become a regular garden volunteer throughout the season that will help with planting, weeding, and harvesting throughout the growing season. We can accommodate volunteers with lots of time (with a weekly weeding schedule) or folks who just want to help out on our community-wide planting days.
More opportunities with ANGELICA VILLAGE
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Mission Statement
Through love, care, and sustained mutual support, Angelica Village nurtures conscious community living spaces where people with special abilities, families seeking refuge from war and violence, individuals and families experiencing homelessness, and fellow community partners receive what they need and share what they can.
Description
Children and Youth Seeking Refuge from War: Youth are welcomed into the community as long-term community members and as the 'adoptive’ children of partners responsible for their direct care. Children grow up in the community until they are ready to transition fully into adulthood. Children will be supported socially, emotionally, spiritually and physically, as well as with education and generally adjusting to life in the United States. Once children have moved out of the direct proximity of the home they will continue to have the community as an extended family for their future.
Unaccompanied Youth and Families Exiting Homelessness: The community provides a place of refuge and support for three to five individuals and/or families whose circumstances have put them out on the street. This aspect is aimed at individuals who are wanting to engage in a larger community and parents who are working to create a stable environment for their children and are seeking support and guidance in their efforts. Households live in the immediate community for eleven months to two years. During this time, they are provided with comprehensive support including food, shelter, a therapeutic environment, emotional support, childcare, financial support, help finding employment, educational support and assistance finding and furnishing a permanent home. Once families resettle in a new home, they will remain integrated and supported by the community for as long as they desire.
