Volunteer Work Day (Ages 10+)

“Join us as we work together in order to make a real difference in the lives of rescued farmed animals here at the sanctuary. We have several ongoing projects and tasks to work on. There’s never a shortage of things to do here! And you need no special skills to be a big help. The animals (and their human caretakers) will certainly appreciate you putting your compassion into action in this very helpful way.

Everyone 10 years and older is welcome to join us at our Volunteer Work Days!

*** BE SURE TO COMPLETE THE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION/WAIVER FORM AT THE LINK ABOVE AND BRING WITH YOU WHEN YOU COME OR SEND TO THEM IN ADVANCE ***

Please wear appropriate work clothes and layers for the heat/cold, work gloves and muck boots. And bring along a water bottle so you may keep hydrated as you work. Please do NOT wear dangling jewelry. Plan to arrive ON TIME so that we may get started on time and continue uninterrupted.”

Please RSVP IN ADVANCE at their Facebook event listing.

***In the event of bad winter weather, please check with them to make sure this event is still on.***

Due to the fact that many of their animals are fearful of dogs, they ask that you please refrain from bringing along your animal companions to this event. Thank you.

**E-mail them at kaylaw@fcfsanctuary.org for driving directions to the sanctuary, more info and if interested in carpooling *** DO NOT TRUST GPS AS IT OFTEN GETS PEOPLE LOST***
