Can Some Bunny Help ???
This little rabbit went to market .....
and since he’s too short to
see over the dash ..... he’s not
allowed to drive.
It’s more than a hop, skip
and a jump to the grocery stores in Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg who give us
day old produce.
Several large stores will
give us almost a pick up full of lovely produce every day.
Each store has a specific
schedule and pick up times tend to be morning or early afternoon.
If you’re willing to drive
your pick up truck or van (too much for car) the produce and bring it to Rikki’s even one day a week, one day
every other week, or even just one day a month .... you’d be helping the animals a lot.
We can’t do it without
volunteers ....
Would you be some bunny who’ll help us ??
Contact Rikki’s Refuge at
540-854-0870 x5 or mail@RikkisRefuge.org
and tell us you want to be some bunny.
One of our volunteers will get back to you as soon as they can.
Thank you from the bunnies,
guinea pigs, horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, emus, peacocks, chickens, ducks,
turkeys and geese !!
We NEED YOU to pick up the
produce in Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg and haul it to Rikki’s
We’ll do the sorting for
each different species. We’ll take all
the plastic off, pulling off plastic and metal ties and rubber bands. We’ll deliver it to each animal neighborhood.
BUT if that sounds like fun
to you ..... we’ll teach you how to do that too.
If you’d rather just drive
up, have us unload your truck, and you can be on your way in minutes - that
works too !!
Pumpkin is very nutritious and our animals love the fall harvest.
Despite her size, Petunia is a very delicate eater !!
Piggies getting a special
frozen treat in the summer !!
To help Rikki’s Refuge keep
the animals well fed year round
if you’re willing to pick up
produce in Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg
(or ask YOUR local store if
they’ll donate)
please get in touch with us
today
540-854-0870 x5 or mail@RikkisRefuge.org
THANK YOU
!!!
Can’t help by hauling
produce, but still want to help the animals?
Click on anybody’s picture
and you’ll be taken to our “HELP” page !!
