Flower Gardening for

The Grail
Arts & CultureEnvironmentSocial Justice & Equality
931 O'Bannonville Rd, Loveland, OH 45140

The Grail has several established flower beds--including a butterfly garden we plan to expand--across the property. Maintaining them does NOT require a Master Gardener certification, or even a "green thumb" just a desire to "dig in the dirt" and encourage beautiful things to grow. Weeding is the majority of the assignment time, but would include thinning, transplanting, and pruning. Best done early mornings or late afternoon to avoid heat of the day. Flexible scheduling available. Perfect for families!

Food, Farm, Garden, Build, Bake - There is room for every gift at Tikkun Farm

Tikkun Farm
AnimalsChildrenEducationEnvironmentHungerLife SkillsSocial Justice & EqualityVeterans & Military Families
7941 Elizabeth St, Cincinnati, OH 45231

Every week more than 200 volunteers welcome guests to our Free Market, prepare ingredients for the 300 crockpot kits that go out every Sunday, feed and care for our barnyard family, support our garden, help with building projects, bake goodies to offer hospitality to visitors and guests, and more. Without volunteers Tikkun Farm’s work in the world would cease. When COVID shut down the world, many of us felt the need to “do something”. Tikkun Farm became a place where neighbor served neighbor, and together we remembered the healing power of meaningful work. Some of our Core Beliefs around VOLUNTEERING include: • Each of us gives and receives. It’s a blurry line between giver and receiver at Tikkun Farm. There are not those who give support and those who receive it. We believe the truest expression of the human experience is when we do both. Most of our volunteers first found the farm in search of support. They shopped at our Free Market, and then asked, “How can I help?”. They received a crockpot meal kit every week, and then offered to deliver to other families. They took a cooking class, and then offered to chop veggies for our crockpot kits. Others showed up for a Volunteer Day, and discovered time outside chased the blues away. They asked to come back every week to work in the garden. Many volunteers receive credit for community service hours while offering unique gifts in support of our mission. • Everyone has something to contribute. Elders with walkers prepare spice kits, single parents chop veggies at home with their kids, folks with social anxiety organize supplies, non-English speakers keep produce bins stocked during Free Market, children foster baby chicks at home. We are committed to offering everyone a way to contribute. • Meaningful Work heals us. So much of what ails us is rooted in disconnection. Tikkun Farm Volunteers discover the healing power of being connected to something larger than themselves, and belonging to a community rooted in acceptance and support. We remind ourselves all the time that our real mission is not feeding people, growing food, job training, cooking classes, tending the animals or composting. These are means to an end… the universal longing for Love, Belonging and Connection. To support our connection with one another, we gather once a quarter for to share food and stories about our experiences on the Farm. • Little Things add up You don’t have to do a lot to make a difference. Most of our volunteer opportunities are 2-3 hours. You can sign up once a month, once a week, once a quarter, whenever you have a few hours to offer. You can volunteer on the farm, or work from home. When everyone gives a little, we end up with more than enough.

Foster a Lab for

Cincinnati Lab Rescue
Animals
Cincinnati, OH

Dog friendly families can join the CLR volunteer network by identifying one of several available dogs that need a foster home. When rescued labs arrive at CLR, they are assessed by a specialist for temperament, and then see a veterinarian team to address any health issues, are spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, and brought up-to-date on all vaccines. The dogs stay in a temporary kennel before joining a foster family or getting adopted. Foster families play such an essential role in the health and well-being of the labs; that we hope you give it serious consideration! CLR dogs placed in foster homes immediately feel the benefit of being in a loving and stable environment. Many dogs (though not all) have had a difficult history. When placed in a home offering safety, love, good nutrition, and exercise, the dog can significantly rebound. Being in a foster home where the dog can manage their energy, learn to trust again, work on their manners, have fun, and become better socialized helps make the transition to a forever family more successful. Additionally, learning about the dog helps the CLR team assess what we can do to help the dog adjust, as well as assist us in finding the best match for the dog and potential adopters.

Foster a Pet! for

Animal Adoption Foundation
Animals
2480 Ross Millville Rd, Hamilton, OH 45013

Love animals, but unable to make a long-term commitment? Consider becoming a foster parent! Foster care is an opportunity to care for an animal that's not yet ready for adoption, such as kittens and puppies too young for adoption, cats and dogs nursing litters that need a quiet home to thrive, cats and dogs recovering from surgery, illness or injury, senior pets or pets with special needs.   AAF regularly rescues animals that would be euthanized due to a lack of space at other shelters. As a foster parent you are helping an animal in need and you're also providing that added space needed to bring another animal to the shelter- that's saving another life!   AAF provides medical care plus the basic needs of each foster care pet including food, bowls, crate, and litter.   We will match the perfect foster care pet to your individual needs. Whether you work or stay at home, have a small amount of time or want to make a full-time commitment, we have a pet that needs your help. Fostering lets you make a difference in an animal's life. We are looking for caring, compassionate individuals- is that you? Come to our volunteer orientation Saturdays (please click on the volunteer link above to find out more).
