Additional Information:

Next Bound with Philomena Farms, Inc has two main areas of focus which drive all our activities and actions. In partnership with Philomena Farms, we offer (1) an environment where First Responders and Veterans can find support in their recovery amongst peers and find a sense of purpose by volunteering to raise and grow food products. The products from the farm are then donated to various organisations/individuals to help (2) combat food insecurity within our community.

We are looking for individuals to join our team who are passionate about helping others and are willing and able to give about 5 hours a week of their time, remotely.
