About this Event
Overview:
Come lend a hand at Life with Pigs Farm Animal Sanctuary! Help care for our rescued animals, tidy up their spaces, and pitch in on fun sanctuary projects. It’s a great way to make a difference, meet awesome people, and hang out with our adorable animal family. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, we’d love to have you join us! Please plan on staying for the full event.
All ages are welcome (recommended 12+) with an adult. We have projects for all levels of physical ability.
Important safety information:
To protect our feathered family members from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), also known as bird flu, we are taking necessary precautions while remaining open for public tours. HPAI is a fatal disease for chickens and turkeys, and your help is essential in keeping them safe!
If you have outdoor birds at home (chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, etc.), we kindly ask you to check back later in the year for a future volunteer day, once the risk of this HPAI outbreak has decreased. This precaution also helps protect your own flock!
The HPAI virus can survive on surfaces and is spread through contact with secretions from infected birds. To minimize risk, we ask that in the 48 hours leading up to your visit, you do not visit:
- Homes or farms with outdoor birds (chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, etc.)
- Parks or areas where wild birds gather
- Tourist attractions that attract wild birds (e.g., Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, the beach, etc.)
Upon arrival, we’ll ask you to disinfect the soles of your shoes in a soap solution and use hand sanitizer.
Thank you for helping us keep our animals safe! If you have any questions about these guidelines, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
A waiver is required for this event. Each adult should complete a waiver. You will have an opportunity to list any children attending with you.
