Green Chimneys Welcomes Partnerships for Corporate Social Responsibility

Each year, employees from companies both large and small volunteer their time to Green Chimneys through Corporate Service Days.

Leaving their high-pressured jobs behind, these spirited employees don a pair of jeans and get to work. They do everything from plowing, planting or painting to planning “gee whiz” projects for our children. Last year, our corporate volunteers gave us more than 3,180 hours of “free labor” – a huge benefit to us. Help us top that number this year!

The Llama Crew

Lily, Java, Summer Wind, Beata, Alexa
There’s a whole lotta llamas at the farm!

Green Chimneys has been a long-time home to llamas Lily and Java, who arrived in 2006 as trained therapy animals. Llamas are environmentally sensitive, intelligent creatures that get along well with children and are noted for being well-socialized, extremely curious and highly approachable, making the pair excellent “facilitators” for the therapeutic programs at Green Chimneys.

In the fall of 2011, Lily and Java were joined by a group of llamas, creating a complete community of camelids.
