Join us for a Day On, not Off at St. Joseph Farmstead in North Little Rock

MLK Day (January 20, 2025) is a federally recognized day of service and every year we come together at St. Joseph's to volunteer our efforts for the greater good. This year we will have projects inside and outside including:

  • Cleaning up the roadways surrounding the perimeter of our property
  • Farm maintenance in our pollinator gardens with Master Gardeners
  • Prescribed burning with Central Arkansas Master Naturalists
  • Building & cleaning maintenance inside our historic building
  • Working on projects with farm animals & barn cleaning

After 3 hours of work, all volunteers can enjoy hot chili (meat and vegan options available) and warm beverages. Please bring a reusable water bottle and come dressed to work on the farm!

Parking is available in the second entrance. Look for the Event Parking signs.

Youth under 18 years of age need to be accompanied by an adult.

Groups are welcome to join us. Please email alexandra@stjosephcenter.org so that we can prepare a project for your team!
