Is there anyone in the Fredericksburg, VA. area that can HELP us haul produce? We need some volunteers! Also…mileage can be claimed on taxes when you are assisting a registered non-profit! It’s approximately 25-30 miles round trip and we need this weekly. A large pick-up truck or trailer would work best. Please contact Rikki’s Refuge at: mail@rikkisrefuge.org or call 540-854-0870. Please leave a voice mail if no one picks up, the office isn’t always manned!
