Do you love animals? Would you like to spend some time helping on a farm with therapy animals? Fuzzy Faces Refuge is a 501c3 with a vision! But, we need more to grow our volunteer base to make our vision a reality. Our mission focuses on providing therapeutic activities and programs for children, adults, Veterans and First Responders. Helping to care for the animals and their various habitats is what is needed right now. We are seeking volunteers that are 18 years of age or older and can make a consistent commitment of at least one day per week to help with morning & afternoon animal care for critically endangered heritage breed farm animals to include horses, goats, chickens, ducks and geese. After completing your volunteer form, you will be contacted to discuss availability and opportunities in more detail. Don't worry if you haven't done this before, we will train you! Please be sure to wear close toed shoes anytime you come to the farm. We look forward to talking with you!

Do you want to dress up for Halloween & celebrate with the local community?! Come to the refuge and enjoy few a hours on a sunny autumn Saturday, at a fun filled Halloween Trick-Or-Treating Festival! But before we get into the nitty-gritty, here's a little more info about why this event's success is so important. Our fuzzy friends have been a source of comfort, healing, and joy to countless individuals, from children with special needs, to veterans battling PTSD. They are our unsung heroes, providing a safe haven and companionship to those who need it most. Winter is fast approaching and we're in dire need of funds to provide them with hay and feed to keep them warm, healthy, and nourished over these upcoming cold months. As temperatures drop, both horses require significantly more food to maintain their body heat and energy levels. They are larger animals with greater nutritional needs to stay healthy, and without your generous contribution of time to raise these funds, we risk not being able to provide the essential care these animals need to thrive. For that we thank you for your willingness to volunteer for such an important event to ensure it is a great success! Event Date: October 21st 2023 Event Time: 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Location: 600 Ryans Lane Clayton, NC. 27520 We want you to have a ghostly good time, so you can let us know your preference for volunteer activities! Volunteer Opportunities: Parking & Driveway Monitoring (AM/PM) Games & Crafts (AM/PM) Concession Stand (AM/PM) Ticket Selling (AM/PM) Raffle Baskets (AM/PM) Petting Zoo Area (AM/PM) Trick or Treat in the Barn (AM/PM) Volunteer Timeframes: AM Timeframe: 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (~5 hours) PM Timeframe: 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM (~5 hours) We're asking for your help from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM to allow for an hour of setup and an hour of teardown. If you're up for a full day of volunteering (that's only 7 hours), you can select BOTH timeframes. Plus, we've got good news - every volunteer will receive a well-deserved break and a meal voucher to enjoy some treats at the concession stand!
