What a fitting way to celebrate International Day of Charity! 💚
This morning, several members of the Patton Veterinary Hospital team traded scrubs for harvest baskets and volunteered at First Fruits Farm in Freeland, Maryland. Jessica, Nikkie, and Angelica, along with some of their family members, spent the morning helping harvest an incredible 4,800 pounds of zucchini! 🥒🌱
First Fruits Farm is a nonprofit farm dedicated to growing fresh produce for people experiencing food insecurity. Through the efforts of volunteers, millions of pounds of fruits and vegetables are harvested and donated to food banks and organizations serving communities in need.
We’re so proud of our team for spending their morning giving back and helping support such an amazing mission. Happy International Day of Charity! 💚
