T-Mobile Tuesday: CYRI helps out on the farm
On T Mobile Tuesday, we will be featuring pictures taken by Rhode Island Corps Members on the cell phones provided to them by T Mobile. Whether it be images of powerful physical service projects or the daily transformative work that takes place in their school, these pictures serve as snapshots of their everyday service.
On Saturday, November 20th, City Year Rhode Island volunteered their time to help out at Barton Dairy Farm in Warwick, RI. The farm is run by West Bay Community Action, an organization committed to assisting economically disadvantaged Kent County residents achieve and sustain self-sufficiency and stability. Corps Members helped to remove seasonal crops, expand available farming area, and cleared brush to make a trail through the farm. The Corps Members were joined by volunteers from the Kent County YMCA’s leaders club, Rhode Island for Community and Justice, Young Heroes alumni, and even a guest appearance from Warwick Mayor, Scott Avedisian!
