Cornell volunteers worked at the OASIS Farm Center, a vocational training facility for young adults with autism, in Middletown, NJ. At this event, we prepared a vegetable farm field for planting, doing light manual work such as digging garden beds, breaking up natural debris, weeding and spreading mulch. After work at the firm, we enjoyed a picnic lunch. |
