  Magical Moon Farm – 575 Summer St. Marshfield

Let’s come together as a community

to create a Magical Experience for

children with terminal and chronic

health conditions

                               

The Mission/Outreach Committee is pleased to announce that we will be returning to Magical Moon Farm, rain or shine, on Saturday, June 22 from 10:00-2:00 as an opportunity for all to gather in Marshfield for a day of service to help spruce the grounds, work in the gardens and tend to any odd jobs that will help beautify the farm.

 

Like last spring this will be a drop in event, as your schedule allows. Pop by for an hour or stay as long as you like. 

 

Beautifying the farm is important, but not as much as the joy this will bring children with terminal and chronic health conditions. Magical Moon offers healthy living programs that bring children and families together. The programs and support empower children with hope. During the summer there’s lots of conversation among the children and adults in the gardens and while tending to the animals. Creating during art and music projects is a means to express inner fears and hopes. The Magical Moon Foundation allows families to have a location on the South Shore that is cost free for their children to build strength and resilience during and after treatments.

 

This is a time for all ages to help bring brightness to the gardens. Families gather the kids, bring your water bottle, lunch, garden gloves, sun protection, bright spirits and positive energy for an hour or two of community at the farm.

I suggest wearing long pants to avoid any insects you may encounter.
