Opportunity Details
Kindness Farm Fall Farming Day (age 4+) *Impact Week*
Kindness Farm is an immigrant, refugee & queer led 501c3 educational urban farm in SE Portland. We teach children, youth, adults, and seniors how to grow their own food. We also donate everything we grow to our food insecure neighbors. In the last 2.5 years we've provided education to over 2000 individuals, donated produce for over 40,000 meals and produce boxes - all with 16,000 volunteer hours. We center working with historically underserved and underrepresented communities: immigrants & refugees, LGBTQIIA2S+, people with low-incomes, unsheltered people, BIPOC, people with disabilities, youth & seniors.
Kindness Farm is the place you didn't know you've been yearning for.
It's a magical haven in SE Portland where you can spend time in peaceful nature and be your true, authentic self.
When you step on this land you forget you're in the city, surrounded by trees, birds, goats, chickens, and endless plants and flowers.
It's a place to center and ground, connect to yourself and other beautiful humans, while doing really amazing work to support your community.
Volunteers will help prepare the farm for fall! We'll be weeding, wood chipping pathways, pruning, and more!
The work you will be doing is outdoors so please dress for the weather. Closed-toed shoes are required. Gloves will be provided, but bring your own if you have a favorite pair. Bring your own water bottle. Masks are optional, but please feel free to wear one.

-
Volunteers must be 4 years of age or older to attend this project; any volunteer under age 13 must attend with a parent or adult chaperone.

-
If you plan to bring children or guests you MUST reserve slots for them. The best way to do this is to create a Volunteer Team, then sign up your team for this project. In the spirit of creating an atmosphere where people from all parts of our community are coming together to volunteer,
Team Captains are only able to reserve up to 50% of the spots on any individual Community Impact Week Service Project. Team Captains are required to provide names and email addresses for each team member (over the age of 13) in order to hold spaces on a volunteer project or they may be removed from the project.
