Maple Farm Sanctuary (MFS) relies on volunteers every day of the week to help clean out our barns so that our animals have a clean and safe home.
We are currently seeking barn volunteers who can make a regular commitment by being at MFS on a weekly or biweekly basis on the same day of the week from 12-3pm. We especially need volunteers on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Barn work involves cleaning out stalls, sweeping, and cutting up produce. It requires some moderate lifting and volunteers will be in the barns and outside.
If you are interested in helping pick up produce, please contact volunteer @maplefarmsanctuary.org or fill out our volunteer application at www.maplefarmsanctuary.org/volunteer.
All barn volunteers must be 18 or older. Please note that for safety and liability issues, volunteers are not permitted to bring young children with them while they are volunteering.

Mission Statement
Maple Farm Sanctuary is an animal sanctuary providing lifelong homes for abused, abandoned and unwanted farmed animals while promoting veganism and respect for all life through public information. Maple Farm Sanctuary has taken in a fraction of the billions of farmed animals that are bought, sold, tormented and slaughtered by the meat, dairy and fur industries.
Description
Located about an hour outside of Boston, Maple Farm Sanctuary provides a home for over 100 rescued animals including cows, pigs, chickens, goats, llamas, ducks and geese.
The organization is run by the sanctuary co-founders Jim and Cheri Vandersluis assisted by many volunteers. Some of the volunteer duties involve working with the animals directly and some do not.
Public and private tours are offered to educate the public about having compassion for animals and adopting a vegan lifestyle.
