There’s nothing quite like volunteering at Heartland Farm Sanctuary! Our staff and volunteers are some of the happiest folks around. What could be better than getting some love from a sweet goat or giving a pig a belly rub?

Volunteer Opportunities
Choose from a variety of volunteer opportunities that best suits your interests, skills, and schedule. Whether you looking to volunteer on a weekly basis or at a one-time event, we will find the perfect job for you!
* Areas where we desperately need YOUR help
- Animal Care
- Animal Rescue
- Barn Chores *
Barn chores are done twice a day, 365 days a year. Tasks include feeding and watering animals, cleaning pens, and sweeping floors. The morning shift meets at the barn from 9:00am to 12:00pm, and the evening shift meets from 3:30pm to 6:00pm in the winter or 4:30pm to 7:00pm in the summer. Working with the animals is certainly rewarding, but barn chores may be physically demanding or repetitious at times. Just remember that every task assists us with carrying out our daily mission to provide care for farm animals in need. - Construction/Repair Work
- Driving a Trailer (must own truck)
- Fundraising *
Grab a bunch of friends and plan your own fundraising event (birthday donations, walk for the animals, bake sale, party, you get the idea). For an easy, ready-to-go fundraiser, you can sell Heartland’s private label coffee, with the proceeds going to our animals and youth programming. - Humane Education
- Office Work
- Running Errands
If only we could be in two places at once! There are times when we need your help to run a few errands, such as picking up donated items from event sponsors or delivering feed or produce for the animals. - Special Events Planning *
We need lots of hands and hearts to help plan our many special events. Opportunities include reaching out to area businesses and individuals for donated auction items; set and takedown, activities at the event, and food and beverage. - Tabling Events *
We host several events throughout the year, and we’ll be bringing our animals with! It’s a terrific opportunity to tell folks about our animals and the important work we do. - Therapeutic AAA
