On Saturday we’ll need a lot of help weeding the farm at the Children’s Home. All the water and increasing sunlight has lead to wild weed growth. Grab your friend, spouse, or Vitamin D deprived acquaintance and head out to 10907 Memorial Hwy, Tampa, FL to meet us at 8:30am for a day outside. Take the road in-between Helen Davis Elementary School and Cuban Civic Club through the gate and continue down the drive until you run into the farm. Notes on Volunteering: Volunteers must wear closed toed shoes and bring plenty of your own water to drink We recommend wearing a hat, sunscreen, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and bug spray
