Let's ring in 2025 with one of our favorite events, the Animal Sanctuary Workday. What better way to work off all that holiday food than to walk around on the 120 acre property to clean and enjoy quality time with the more than 100 animals who call this place home. There are small and large jobs to be done so don't worry if you can't lift a 50lb bag or bale of hay. Please read through all the details about this event. We look forward to seeing you soon!It is mandatory to sign this volunteer waiver!

We encourage carpooling as much as possible. Reach out if you need a ride or can offer a ride at [email protected].
We will gather and go over tasks at 10am in the One Living Sanctuary driveway so please be respectful and show up on time.
Food/snacks will be provided but feel free to bring your own food. Make sure to have a water bottle to keep with you as you work. We will help with chores around the sanctuary.
Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, jeans are best, and gloves (there will be gloves provided if you do not have your own). It will most assuredly be very muddy so wear galoshes if you have them or shoes you don't care about. There will be simple jobs, dirty jobs (my favorite) as well as jobs that may require a higher level of physical fitness (my super favorite).
The property is very large (around 120 acres) and it is not flat. There is a rather long, uphill road leading to the top of the property. No matter your physical abilities, though, there is plenty to do, we just want everyone to be aware that there are very steep hills that can be challenging to climb. It is fairly rough terrain in general, especially due to the weather.
Please drive slowly down the long driveway. There are sometimes animals around and we want everyone to be safe.
We recommend wearing layers as it can be cold early in the morning but could get warm by mid-day. If you have work gloves, please bring them but we will have extra if needed as well as hand sanitizer.
Spending time with the animals we are working to liberate is not only good for your mental health and well being but it reinforces our commitment to the cause.
