Volunteers needed

Do you have some time to give? Come to a volunteer orientation and/or training session and learn more about the many programs Main Stay offers and how you can help. One-hour orientation sessions will cover information about the farm and volunteer opportunities in all areas of the organization. Attend a hands-on training after the orientation, if you’re interested in working in one of the client programs. Training sessions will cover specific skills needed when volunteering. Upcoming training dates are on the calendar.

Become a Friend of the Farm!

Our hardworking therapy animals need your help! Sponsor a horse, little animal or even the barn cats with a one-time or monthly contribution and become a “Friend of the Farm”. Sponsors receive a certificate with a picture of their animal and depending on your giving level, you could have a special day at the farm with “your” animal and the other adorable Main Stay four-legged team members. Your support will help provide the care necessary to keep our animals healthy and strong.
