Lawn Maintenance
Volunteers are needed each week to help us maintain our beautiful grounds.  A riding tractor is provided, as well as all other lawn tools needed.  Community service hours are honored. This is a perfect opportunity for students after school and on weekends.

Gardeners
Irvine’s garden is seeking volunteers to water, weed, and maintain its appearance each week.  This is a great opportunity for a young family or an avid gardener.
