HELP THOSE IN NEED BY DONATING WARM COATS
HISTORIC WAGNER FARM: HELP NEEDED FOR HOLIDAY GREENERY SALES
Get ready for the holidays! Volunteers are needed to help unload and sell trees through December 21st! Holiday Greenery sales are one of the ways that Historic Wagner Farm helps fund programs and care for animals. Volunteers who can comfortably lift about 40+ pounds are needed to help unload, sort, display and sell trees.
Unloading: Unloading is the biggest job. There are two tree deliveries of about 150 trees each. We get about a week’s notice on the delivery and it is typically during the day, on a weekday. RSVP to be on the list of people we notify when we get the date and time. If you can come…great! Many hands make light work!
Selling: Volunteers are needed to help sell and load trees on weekends now through December 23rd. Volunteer hours are Saturdays and Sundays, 10am-2pm and 1-5pm. Volunteers who commit to three shifts of unloading/selling will earn the employee discount on a tree from the farm!
