Hi, volunteers! 🌱

Just a friendly reminder that volunteer hours are happening this afternoon, Thursday 8/13, from 3:00–5:00 PM at DERH Farm!

We shifted the time to help us avoid the hottest part of the afternoon ☀️ and make it a little easier for folks to join us after office hours.

We’d love to see you there! Come on down and spend the afternoon with us. 💚
