Okanagan Kids Volunteer Group At Helen's Acres
Join our drop in volunteer group at Helen's Acres beginning this May!
We will be volunteering at Helen's Acres to help harvest food for our community. The Helen's Acres Community Farm is dedicated to making a difference in the Central Okanagan by providing those facing food insecurity with the freshest produce available, they rely on volunteers like our children volunteer group to make this happen year round. Little hands can make a big difference!
We will be volunteering Fridays beginning May 23.
*Please note there will be NO volunteer day this season on May 30 due to an event at the farm
TIME: 10:00-11:00 AM
Parents and children of all ages are welcome. We will meet at the farm at 10:00 and we will help harvest for around one hour and then make our way to the field to have some snacks and play time if you would like to join afterwards. Please bring a snack and water for your kiddos!
