Please join Pikes Peak Atheists for our fall volunteer day at Black Forest Animal Sanctuary.

The Black Forest Animal Sanctuary (BFAS) is an all animal rescue and rehab group dedicated to helping those animals that are abused, neglected, or no longer wanted by their current owners. Black Forest Animal Sanctuary is completely made up of volunteers. Black Forest Animal Sanctuary deploys their animal rescue team during disasters and at law enforcement request. Black Forest Animal Sanctuary has a network of foster homes and farms.

The Black Forest Animal Sanctuary website is:

www.bfasfarm.org

Everyone age 6 and over is welcome to volunteer!

We will have a variety of tasks for various abilities and ages. The tasks that we have done for the Black Forest Animal Sanctuary so far have included everything from building fences to stall cleaning, skirting a trailer, building a dog pen, kennel repairs, a massive reorganization of the storage warehouse, horse grooming, and dog walking.

Please SPREAD THE WORD about this event throughout our community! We encourage everyone to cross-post this among the various secular groups in our community so we can have a great turn-out and get this deserving charity some much needed help!!

PLEASE BRING water, lunch, and appropriate items for working outside (sunscreen, summer clothing for the expected weather, etc.). Sturdy close-toed shoes, long pants and work gloves are advised. Expect to get dirty and for your shoes to get muddy. There are sticker bushes and tall grass present on the farm, so SHORTS ARE NOT ADVISED.

THANK YOU for donating a few hours of your time to get out in our community and help this worthy cause! If you will need to leave earlier due to other commitments, we still want you to come and help! 

LOCATION NOTE: As you turn off Hodgen Road onto Thompson, the Sanctuary is the entire area to your left (west) between Hodgen and Mountain Shadow View. The entrance is the gate that is close to Mountain Shadow View, and may not be labeled as Black Forest Animal Sanctuary as that sign was down the last time we were there. We will be there to open and shut the gate around the start of the event time. If you arrive late, just be sure to shut the gate behind you.

THANK YOU!
