See all- Volunteer Work Day - Skylands Animal Sanctuary & RescueSkylands Sanctuary & Animal Rescue, Wantage, NJ
Join NJveg and Vegan in NJ for a volunteer work day! We'll be helping out the vegan non-profit sanctuary Skylands Animal Sanctuary & Rescue. We highly recommend bringing a water bottle, bug spray, sunblock, work gloves, work boots, and clothes that can get dirty. We suggest wearing layers (because even if it's cold outside, it might get warm inside the barns), and bringing a mask (for dust in the barns). If you'd like to donate, you can do so at the sanctuary or online.
Things you might do while volunteering: cleaning animals' stalls (scooping poop!), sweep barns, replace old and dirty hay with new hay, clean and fill waterers, rake, clean feed bowls, pet goats, dust, mop, cuddle cows, etc. After lunch (around 2pm), we'll hangout with some of the animals. All food on site will always be vegan. Let us know if you have any food allergies.
Must be 16 or older, 14 if accompanied by a parent. Arrive a little early because waivers need to be signed (your first time volunteering only). Please sign up only if you are serious about attending and plan to attend for the full time. If anything comes up and you need to cancel, let us know ASAP, so that we may fill your spot. We’ve had a problem with last minute cancellations – don’t be that person! Please RSVP to [email protected], or 609-557-7077 (text preferred).

Join NJveg and Vegan in NJ for a catered, gourmet 5-course vegan meal! Lady and the Shallot is a completely vegan, gluten free, and nut free restaurant located inside the Trenton Farmers Market.
Our prior meals here were amazing, among the highlights of the year, and drew raves – including from one of NJveg's members, “The best meal I’ve ever had!”
This will be a seated, 5–course dinner.
The menu by owners Francesca Avitto and Kate Wnek is TBA$67 (plus sales tax and booking fee), with a $5 discount for NJveg members (current on dues) and Vegan in NJ Meetup (paid) members. Join NJveg here. Members can contact their organization for their respective discount codes.
$5 from each ticket purchased will be donated to vegan non-profit Udder Chaos Farm Sanctuary.
