Bunny Sanctuary Volunteer Work Party + Vegan Potluck + Blueberry Pick
Details
Join us in helping out with volunteer tasks to help the bunnies at Rabbitats Sanctuary in Richmond! This will be our 3nd time there! This is a family-friendly event and children of all ages are permitted, to help along with their parent(s)/guardian(s).
Rabbitats is a registered charity that provides permanent, communal housing for hundreds of abandoned and at-risk rabbits in Vancouver, Richmond, and other parts of the Lower Mainland. Tasks at the sanctuary will involve cleaning out colonies (living spaces), feeding the bunnies, refilling water dishes, and petting rabbits to help them socialize with humans.
We will start the session by touring the sanctuary and hand-feeding greens to all the bunnies. Then we'll dig into some work. After helping the bunnies for a few hours, we will break at 6pm for a well-deserved vegan potluck dinner! Plus, blueberry bushes are growing and they are ready to be picked and eaten! (please bring containers for picking and take as many as you wish.)
Please bring a plant-based dish to share, with no animal products, including dairy, honey or gelatin. Please bring a plate to eat on, cutlery to eat with, a serving utensil for your dish, and a reusable napkin. There is a fridge to store your food in. We will have a vegan feast!
Dress for the weather (work can be in the sun, or indoors, as you wish), and wear clothes you don't mind getting dusty. Work gloves will be provided, or you can bring your own as well if you wish.
Please keep in mind that Rabbitats is not transit accessible. It's in rural Richmond. Drivers are needed to get out to the sanctuary, so please post if you have a vehicle, if you are willing to drive others, and what city/part of the city you are in (passengers, please pitch in for gas). Your host Alison will reach out to arrange the carpools. We can have a maximum of 11 cars park on the property, with any overflow vehicles to part at the SilverCity parking lot (free), just 3 minutes away,
