Join This Gay for Good San Diego & Reins Volunteer Event!

Howdy! Calling all horse lovers! Join Gay for Good as they partner with their friends at REINS to help them prepare for their Annual Country Hoedown. This is their largest fund-raising event, and you will be helping organize tables, cleaning and clearing various areas, doing maintenance around the grounds, and other tasks they have for you all.

And you get to do all this work while enjoying horses all around. The horsemanship program they operate supports the physical, mental, and emotional health of disabled children and adults throughout the community. This is a great opportunity to hang out with horses and get involved while giving back!

The event is on Saturday, October 14 from 9:00am to 12:30pm at 4461 S. Mission Road, Fallbrook CA 92028 (Meet up at the front of the location.)
