We will be volunteering at Little Portion Farm at the Shrine of Saint Anthony. Look for the big red barn on your right when you pull into the driveway towards the Shrine. Please arrange to be dropped off and picked up from the farm. Ms. Nahmias, the MDSA Service Coordinator, will be there to greet you and help oversee farm tasks. Make sure you and your parent/guardian sign a farm waiver when you arrive. Please email Ms. Nahmias (jnahmias@mountdesales.org) with any questions. Spots are limited to 20 students.
What is Little Portion Farm? Little Portion Farm is a ministry of the Franciscan Friars focused on providing fresh food to those in need while using sustainable farming methods. All the food harvested from the farm is donated to the Franciscan Center in Baltimore. MDSA students volunteer regularly at Little Portion Farm.
What to Bring: Work clothes, close-toes sneakers, sunblock, hat, snack, and lots of water. Sign a waiver upon arrival.
We will meet in the gym on the MDSA campus and enjoy a morning of self-care, taking care of our minds, bodies, and souls! We'll be doing wellness activities like taking a walk around campus, a mindful low-impact Pilates stretching routine, and face masks. Snacks will be provided.
All Mount de Sales rising freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are invited on a summer trip to the Steubenville Youth Conference at Franciscan University!
