Committees

In Hayfield Farm, we have so many dedicated neighbors that volunteer their time to make this community a better place. There are multiple events throughout the year, a neighborhood watch team that helps keep our neighborhood safe, a welcoming committee that helps you feel at home, and so much more. Explore below the different ways our community is unique and the best place to be. These are all considered HCA sponsored committees, as outlined in our HCA By-Laws. It doesn’t matter if you want to be a leader on our board or committees, organize or participate in a new or existing group, we have something that is a great fit for you. If you want to make a difference in Hayfield, make some new friends, or otherwise just participate, please contact hayfieldfarm@gmail.com.

Resident participation in community activities is a major reason why Hayfield is MORE THAN JUST A PLACE TO SLEEP. Join the HCA today; you and the community will benefit if you volunteer some of your time too!
