Fall Volunteers in Action

December 18, 2025 by Anna

As we sink into winter at the sanctuary (especially today with heavy wet snow blanketing Central Washington), it makes me a bit melancholic for that sunny weather we had not that long ago. When I start to feel blue I like to embrace gratitude and think about the wonderful aspects of the life around me. One of those great things is all of our volunteers at the sanctuary! They are always so eager to lend a hand and truly uplift our spirits with their hard work.

We included these photos in our weekly “Thank You” email updates to our volunteers throughout the fall and I thought it would be nice to share them as a collection.
