Join NJveg for a volunteer work day! We’ll be helping the vegan nonprofit micro-sanctuary Fluffy Butt Rescue. We highly recommend bringing a water bottle, bug spray, sunblock, work gloves, work boots, and clothes that can get dirty. A vegan lunch will be provided! If you’d like to donate, you can do so at the sanctuary or online.

Space is limited, adults only. For this event, the number of cars is the limitation – let us know if you’re willing to give someone a ride. Please sign up only if you are serious about attending and plan to attend for the full time. If anything comes up and you need to cancel, let us know ASAP, so that we may fill your spot. We’ve had a problem with last minute cancellations – don’t be that person! The address (in Holland Township) will be provided privately to volunteers before the event.

We need volunteers for future sanctuary work days. If you’re interested in joining NJveg’s volunteer team, please contact us at [email protected] or 609-557-7077 (text preferred).
