Eastern Daylight Time

Please join ACC NCR's Community Service and Maryland Advisory Committees for a fun and unforgettable volunteer experience!

Experience the magic of Rosie's Farm Sanctuary, a picturesque 5-acre haven for rescued mini-horses, cows, chickens, goats, sheep, and pigs.  Join us for an enriching day featuring a sanctuary tour to meet and learn about the animals living there, a catered plant-based lunch provided by the organizer, and an opportunity to engage in fulfilling volunteer activities. 

Volunteer tasks will range from requiring some mobility and strength to low-impact activities.  Participants may bring family members and children ages 10 and older.  This event also offers community service credit for kids and teens that may need this for school. 

Attendance will be capped due to the size of the sanctuary and number of volunteer tasks required.  We ask that all participants donate $10 directly to the Sanctuary to participate.  Information on how to do this is included when you register.  All donations are non-refundable, but will be applied if the event is rescheduled.

Before registering, please check out Rosie's website for more information about the farm and what to expect when you visit.
