VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are an essential part of our Sanctuary’s success in providing 400 animal residents with the proper care that they need. Whether you are cleaning out coops and barns or stuffing envelopes, your help allows us to continue working towards our mission of rescuing farmed animals, giving them care and sanctuary, and advocating for animals everywhere. We couldn’t do this without you!
