There are an enormous number of things that must be done to keep The Valley of the Kings sanctuary going. We need funds for building materials, donated items from our Wish List, and help with many projects we just cannot do ourselves, including expanding animal enclosures, rewiring all the electricity, re-roofing the barns, and completely fencing in the property.
We are always in need of volunteers be it giving tours to our members, caring for our residents (feeding, cleaning, enrichment), donation pickups, construction. There is an area need for all skills and ability levels. The requirement for volunteering is a commitment of 8 or more hours per month on a monthly basis. If you are interested, please fill out a Volunteer Application and we will be in touch.
Of course, there is a day-to-day need for donations for food. All our animals eat 365 days a year. We need everyone’s help, no matter how small. Please consider joining our extended family by becoming a member of the Valley of the Kings or sponsoring a lion, tiger, bear, or other rescued animals!
