Description

Join Friends of Norfolk Animal Care Center this Day of Caring as we roll up our sleeves to build something truly special — a vegetable and pollinator garden for the small animals at Norfolk Animal Care Center (NACC)!

NACC is the City of Norfolk’s open-admission shelter, providing compassionate care for nearly 4,000 animals each year — including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, geckos, and more small pets. These small pets rely on fresh vegetables to stay healthy and happy while they await adoption.

We’re looking for donations of gardening supplies and plants, as well as volunteers to help bring the garden to life!

By helping us create this garden, you’ll support their well-being and provide a sustainable source of enrichment and nutrition.

No gardening experience required, just bring your heart and helping hands!
