Many kids and teens have asked how to be a part of Bunny Blessings and our brilliant bunnies finally put their furry heads together to come up with a genius plan: Introducing….. drumroll please…. the Bunny Blessings Junior Bunny Brigade! A brigade is a small troop on a mission and our Junior Bunny Brigade is hopping up to the challenge to serve and care for others by supporting our nonprofit ministry.
While members of the Junior Bunny Brigade will certainly have a good time in our program, they will also be learning the importance of responsible animal care and how to serve their community. They will understand more about therapy animals, how to help people who may be sick, sad, tired and lonely, and also how to discover their own unique gifts to love other people. Children and teens will make crafts that will be delivered to residents at assisted living facilities and nursing homes. They will discover ways to help financially provide for our bunnies and ministry visits. We aim to help a younger generation turn their focus from themselves to those around them.
Junior Bunny Brigade is for ages 5-18
