We are looking for volunteers for our Annual Donktoberfest and Haunted Hayride events.
Friday, October 4 and Saturday, October 5 from 6:30pm - 11pm
We need people to help with the Haunted Hayride event. We need people to help get people in and out of the gate, man the picture area with a little donkey, help with merchandise sales and serving cider and hot cocoa to attendees. If you like to scare people in the woods, we probably have a spot for you there too.
Saturday, October 5 from 9 am - 4 pm
We are having out annual Donktoberfest Open House. We need people to help get people through the gate in tour groups, help with the Bounce House, Coloring Contest, photo op with a little donkey, and if desired, merchandise table, walking a donkey around to meet people as they arrive and more.
We are pretty flexible and will try to get you a role that is fun for you. It is a great time.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue strives to eliminate cruelty to donkeys by rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming those who are neglected, abused and/or unwanted. We also integrate educating others on the injustices inflicted on donkeys worldwide into all our events and activities.
Peaceful Pastures Donkey Rescue was founded in 2021 after the founder witnessed the abuse and neglect donkeys endure at auctions and kill pens. Since then, we dedicated our lives to rescuing and helping these donkeys. We currently have over 250 donkeys and a few horses on-site.
Our goals and strategic plans are created around the acronym SAFER.
Share the emotional and intellectual benefits of spending time with donkeys by hosting workshops and tours.
Adopt out donkeys and horses to carefully vetted homes.
Fundraise to make PPDR self-sustaining with at least 50% of operational costs provided by funds outside of donations.
Educate during events and other public appearances about donkeys, the donkey trade and global donkey crisis, why we rescue, what the animals experience once at the rescue, and how we train the animals.
Rehabilitate equines physically and emotionally.
We recently started a Volunteer Program and are enrolled in the Presidential Volunteer Service Award program. We value our volunteers tremendously and are dedicated to making it a fun experience that is tailored to the abilities and desires of the volunteer. Experience with equines is not necessary and we have needs that range from cleaning, grooming, feeding, and public events to things that can be done online such as webpage maintenance, grant writing, volunteer program, fundraising, marketing, etc.
