Every week more than 200 volunteers welcome guests to our Free Market, feed and care for our barnyard family, support our garden, help with building projects, bake goodies to offer hospitality to visitors and guests, and more. Without volunteers Tikkun Farm\u2019s work in the world would cease. <\/strong><\/p>\n

When COVID shut down the world, many of us felt the need to \u201cdo something\u201d. Tikkun Farm became a place where neighbor served neighbor, and together we remembered the healing power of meaningful work.<\/p>\n

Some of our Core Beliefs around VOLUNTEERING include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Each of us gives and receives.
<\/strong>It\u2019s a blurry line between giver and receiver at Tikkun Farm. There are not those who give support and those who receive it. We believe the truest expression of the human experience is when we do both.<\/p>\n

Most of our volunteers first found the farm in search of support. They shopped at our Free Market, and then asked, \u201cHow can I help?\u201d. They received a crockpot meal kit every week, and then offered to deliver to other families. They took a cooking class, and then offered to chop veggies for our crockpot kits.<\/p>\n

Others showed up for a Volunteer Day, and discovered time outside chased the blues away. They asked to come back every week to work in the garden. Many volunteers receive credit for community service hours while offering unique gifts in support of our mission.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Everyone has something to contribute.
<\/strong>Elders with walkers prepare spice kits, single parents chop veggies at home with their kids, folks with social anxiety organize supplies, non-English speakers keep produce bins stocked during Free Market, children foster baby chicks at home. We are committed to offering everyone a way to contribute.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Meaningful Work heals us.
<\/strong>So much of what ails us is rooted in disconnection. Tikkun Farm Volunteers discover the healing power of being connected to something larger than themselves, and belonging to a community rooted in acceptance and support. We remind ourselves all the time that our real mission is not feeding people, growing food, job training, cooking classes, tending the animals or composting. These are means to an end\u2026 the universal longing for Love, Belonging and Connection.<\/p>\n

To support our connection with one another, we gather once a quarter for to share food and stories about our experiences on the Farm.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Little Things add up
<\/strong>You don\u2019t have to do a lot to make a difference. Most of our volunteer opportunities are 2-3 hours. You can sign up once a month, once a week, once a quarter, whenever you have a few hours to offer. You can volunteer on the farm, or work from home. When everyone gives a little, we end up with more than enough.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

**Although we have two AmeriCorp Members to coordinate the big picture of our two largest programs, and one full-time paid leader to manage communications, systems development and volunteer opportunities, the bulk of Tikkun Farm\u2019s work in the world is offered by volunteers, neighbor helping neighbor.<\/p>\n
