COMMUNITY HELP NEEDED — Penny Lane Sanctuary (urgent, local)
Hey OutdoorKids families, quick local call-out because this is one of those moments where a bunch of small “yes I can help” offers turns into real relief fast.
We went to Penny Lane Sanctuary today and they’re in a tough spot right now: Larry (who runs Penny Lane with Nancy) is in the hospital, and the sanctuary needs extra hands every day for the next few weeks to keep things running — especially with this extreme heat.
What they need help with
Nothing fancy — just the essential daily care:
Watering (big one in this heat)
Feeding
Mucking stalls / basic barn chores
Opening / closing routines
General “extra set of hands” stuff that keeps animals safe and comfortable
When help is needed
If you can spare even 1–2 hours, it would make a huge difference for them
Morning shift: around 9:00am
Evening shift: around 4:00pm
Time needed: 1–2 hours (AM and/or PM)
Daily help is needed.
How to help
Best: Reach out to Penny Lane Sanctuary directly (DM them on Instagram/Facebook).
Or just show up, google “Penny Lane Sanctuary” for the address and show up around 9am or 4pm ready to help.
This is a really good “kids can see real community in action” moment too — and you genuinely get to see the impact instantly.
Thanks everyone. Let’s show up for them. ❤️🐑🐄
