We are so grateful for your partnership! Our work to Feed, Clothe, House and Heal could not be accomplished without your help. Integrated into all of our programs are our values of Spirituality, Fellowship, Serving those in need, and Giving others the opportunity to serve.
Our 3 Urban Farms provide 3 acres of organic, fresh fruits and vegetables (and sometimes fish!) to our kitchen and dining rooms. This greatly enhances the nutritional support we’re able to offer our guests.Volunteer duties change on a daily basis depending on the needs of the vegetation and spaces. Duties may include but are not limited to: watering, weeding, harvesting, planting, waste & produce sorting, composting, trash pick-up, and tree trimming. Please dress appropriate for the Arizona sun and heat!
*Please be aware we do have a live beehive in the farm to help pollinate our plants.
