***PLEASE REGISTER AT THIS LINK BEFORE ARRIVING*** https://www.farmofthefree.org/event-details-registration/volunteer-caregiver-vegan-potluck-day-2024-11-16-11-00
This will help them get an accurate count of who is attending and will also help you avoid having to fill out liability forms, etc when you arrive.

Looking for a way to give back to your community? Join us for a volunteer caregiver day and vegan potluck at Farm of the Free Animal Sanctuary! With over 35 residents, they rely on the support of the community to keep things running smoothly. By signing up for multiple days and carpooling with a friend, you can make an even bigger impact!

And don't forget to bring your favorite vegan dish to share at the potluck. Vegan = No animal products, ie. no meat, no dairy, no eggs, no honey, etc. They encourage you to bring a recipe card to share with others and indicate any allergens. They'll provide reusable plates, bowls, cups, and utensils to reduce waste. Thank you for your help and we look forward to seeing you there!

Wear work clothes and dress appropriately for the current weather conditions, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots and bring along a water bottle to keep hydrated. Putting on sunscreen recommended. Please do not wear jewelry.

Please do NOT bring along any companion animals for the safety and well-being of our rescued residents.

Hopefully see you there! Thank you!

This event is posted in multiple meetup groups, and on Eventbrite, as well as with members of the Community Documentary Night email list. (Message me if interested in joining the email list) Therefore, THIS RSVP LIST IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT. So even if you only see one person RSVPed in this meetup group, there will always be others in attendance from other groups. We tend to have at least 20 on average. By inviting numerous groups that increases the likelihood that those in attendance will be from varying backgrounds and beliefs. This is done purposefully to provide everyone with the opportunity to hear a wide range of perspectives.

This event is open to all who are open to all. The one thing we ask is that people allow others to get their full thought out and that any disagreement is voiced in a civil way.

Thank you and hope to see you there!

Our Food Pantry has truck deliveries every Thursday around Noon. After the shipment of food has been unloaded off of our truck we are needing volunteers to help us with the unboxing & unpacking of food as well as with the sorting and organizing.

We are asking volunteers to help from Noon - 4 p.m. A lot of times we do finish before 4 p.m. Please still come if you can only volunteer just for a few hours. We have lots of fun!!

We are looking for 5-6 volunteers to be regulars with us on Truck Thursdays. If you have a heart for volunteering and giving back to the community please send me a message. Thanks so much!!

This will help them get an accurate count of who is attending and will also help you avoid having to fill out liability forms, etc when you arrive.

Join us at Full Circle Farm Sanctuary! Help complete some of the tasks around the sanctuary grounds that make life comfortable and safe for their rescued residents! New and previous volunteers welcome.

Wear work clothes and dress appropriately for the current weather conditions, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots and bring along a water bottle to keep hydrated. Putting on sunscreen recommended. Please do not wear jewelry.

Please bring a generous portioned VEGAN dish to share at the potluck afterward. Vegan = No animal products, ie. no meat, no dairy, no eggs, no honey, etc. The potluck will be from 2 PM - 3 PM. The Welcome Center has stove tops and an oven, so you'll be able to bake, or reheat your food when you arrive.

Please do NOT bring along any companion animals for the safety and well-being of our rescued residents.

**Directions may tell you to turn right on Wolfden Branch Road. Ignore this. Stay on White House Pkwy. The sanctuary is 2.9 miles down White House Pkwy on the right.**

They gratefully encourage and welcome contributions of produce for the animals....i.e. greens, veggies and fruits. These fresh foods are so healthy and tasty for their beloved animals. NO citrus or onions please. Thank you!

This is a Voting Night, which means at the end of the night we brainstorm and vote to decide as a group what we will watch the following month, so please come ready with your recommendation. The only requirement is that the film must be available to watch online for free. If you need any ideas, you can search through the Flyers Page on the Community Documentary Night website. It is full of flyers based around certain themes and each flyer is full of documentary posters, which are hyperlinked to where you watch the films for free. Something to consider is that next month is December, which is National Human Rights Month, and World AIDS Day is celebrated on December 1st. Check out the National Human Rights Month flyer, and the World AIDS Day flyer if you're interested in recommending a film in honor of these holidays.

Again, you must watch the film on your own BEFORE the event. We will be meeting over Zoom, where we will break out into small discussion groups. We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion, then have a special guest Q&A, before closing out the night with a vote to decide what film we will watch the following month.
