Get Involved and Make a Difference

MercyCare invites the community to be a part of this meaningful initiative. Volunteer opportunities include air rake operators, olive gatherers, and sorters.

These roles contribute to a collective effort to revive the age-old tradition.

The harvested olives will support MercyCare’s Family and Community Services.

Additionally, olive oil will be a key ingredient in soap-making workshops benefiting refugee participants, providing them new skills and opportunities.
