DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS CRISIS

PAR, The Pennsylvania Advocacy and Resources for Autism and Intellectual Disability has released their new video (at left) about the statewide crisis for Direct Support Professionals. Being a DSP and serving our Growers is a wonderful and rewarding experience. We need everyone's support to advocate for the State to increase rates so we can build a better stable workforce to improve the quality of life for all adults who have an Intellectual or Developmental Disability or Autism. Visit the site FixtheDSPCrisis.com and support these valuable Professionals.​

 We would like to thank the Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) program at Appalachian State University for their volunteer work at the Farm in 2019 and 2020.  Students had the opportunity to volunteer in various ways during their week, from working out in the pastures with the animals, to going on community outings with Growers. They also helped grow vegetables in the Greenhouse and assisted Growers with cooking and crafting activities. The group traveled together from Boone, North Carolina led by staff volunteer coordinator, Kelsey Travethan. When asked what her personal goal of this volunteer experience was, Travethan responded, “I want to learn what it means to be a Grower. And I learned that it means to have a community of people who care and support your growth as an adult with a disability.” 

If you have a group that would enjoy volunteering their time to help out at Hope Springs Farm, please give us a call at 717-298-1845.  We always need extra help!
