SUMMARY:Veg Week Chicken Run Rescue Workday
DESCRIPTION:⚠️ Please note: RSVPs for this event must be completed on TicketBud\, not through this page. Reserve your spot here. \nThis event is part of Veg Week (September 19-27)! Haven’t taken the Veg Pledge yet? Sign up here to commit to a week of vegetarian or vegan eating and get access to discounts and support along the way. \nAs part of Veg Week\, join us for a meaningful and hands-on day at Chicken Run Rescue\, a sanctuary dedicated to giving these neglected\, abused birds a safe home and the respect all animals deserve. This special workday is a chance to support the rescue’s work while learning more about the resident birds and their stories. \nConnecting with these wonderful\, resilient animals is a grounding\, meaningful\, and impactful experience. While Chicken Run Rescue’s residents come from many varying backgrounds and have many different personalities\, their stories give us a chance to see how their stories and lives were shaped by human systems of egg farming\, meat farming\, cockfighting\, genetic manipulation\, and more. \nThroughout the day\, we’ll do light and moderate work around the rescue\, with breaks for snacks. Depending on needs at the time\, we may be helping clean and maintain the space\, preparing areas for the chickens\, and supporting daily animal care operations. Some chickens are comfortable being picked up\, and we may have the chance to take photos with our favorite birds! \nLooking for ways to help beyond the day? Fostering even one chicken can change a life\, and choosing a plant-based diet is a powerful way to help all animals. \nAs part of Veg Week — a time to reflect\, commit\, and recommit to compassionate choices — this event is open to everyone and a wonderful way to connect with other humans concerned about animal welfare\, connect with animals\, and help out in a concrete\, immediate way. \nRSVP HERE \nWhen: Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM\nWhere: Chicken Run Rescue\, Roseville\, MN (exact address provided prior to event) \nRSVP HERE \nWe hope to see you at the workday!
