Volunteer
This is your opportunity to join the many volunteers who work hard to support Loma Vista Farm. Loma Vista Farm is looking for dedicated and hard-working volunteers to help us with our fund-raising events. We’re looking for additional members to join our “Events Committee” team. This committee of community members is responsible for coordinating fund-raising events throughout the year that raise the money needed to fund Loma Vista Farm. If you have an interest, have the time and energy, or if you have experience in event planning, we welcome your involvement and support.

Hello,
I am interested in volunteering to help at the farm. Preferably under the ‘care for animals’ category, but I could also be useful helping with maintenance.
Please let me know what is available, I live in Glen Cove, and could volunteer 3 or 4 hours a week.
I am a healthy 74 yr old who loves animals. I came out to your farm last week, with my Wife, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Jill Myers is a friend and neighbor of ours and volunteers there regularly, she’s the one who told us about Loma Vista.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes, Paul Seaward.
