SAO Members,

We hope you can join us on Wednesday, September 13th from 9AM-11AM for SAO’s annual Community Day. We will once again volunteer at Clarfield Farm (3220 Groveport Rd., Columbus, OH 43207), located in Columbus’ Hilltop neighborhood on the grounds of the former Columbus State Psychiatric Hospital. The five acre property, which sat vacant for over 20 years, is being transformed into an urban farm that grows food and provides increased access to fresh produce, encourages civic engagement, and offers job skills training and education about healthy lifestyles.

Basic duties that we will be asked to perform include preparing/amending garden beds, harvesting food and general clean-up.

Following the event, SAO will be hosting a group lunch at Plank’s Cafe & Pizzeria (743 Parsons Avenue, Columbus, OH 43206). The lunch is free of charge for all SAO volunteers!

This great opportunity to serve our community is limited to the first 15 registrants, so please sign up today.

Note from the farm: “The South Columbus Preparatory School is under renovation in front of the site. You will see four high tunnels with two red containers behind the school. That is the farm.”
