URGENT ~ Northern Virginia PUMPKIN PEOPLE! We only have 3 wonderful volunteers committed to dates and churches so far. We already have FIVE churches signed up to give us their pumpkins, so already the volunteer to pumpkin pickup ratio is off. Are you in the Northern Virginia area? CAN YOU HELP?
Churches count on us to clear our their pumpkin patches and we count on those pumpkins each year as a HUGE part of our animal feed for the fall. This could also affect the churches willingness to give us their pumpkins next year if we can’t clear their lots.
This Saturday and Sunday, NOV 1 & 2 (and in some cases maybe the days following) we have a HUGE NEED for volunteers to help us get the pumpkins from the churches. Trucks, vans, SUVs and even a big car will work if you want to help! EMAIL FRED ASAP at fred@z9a.com or Vincent@RikkisRefuge.org..
Did you know that all our animals and birds, with the exception of our cats and dogs, eat pumpkins? Donated pumpkins help off-set the cost of grain and hay!
