Due to a generous grant from The Summerlee Foundation, the Refuge is pleased to offer free transportation to and from the Refuge for current UNC students! Join us for our Fall Tour & Explore events on September 13, November 1, and November 29, where you can meet our amazing animal residents and hear their stories on a self-guided tour of the Refuge. Participants in the program receive free transportation on a charter bus, free admission to a sanctuary tour, and $25 vouchers to buy lunch at the on-site vegan food trucks. 

How it works:

Sign up for the September Tour and sign our waiver at the link below. Be sure to use your UNC email address.

Arrive at West University Drive (exact pickup location will be sent via email) no later than 11 AM on Saturday September 13 and board the charter bus.

Arrive at the Refuge around 11:20. You will receive your food vouchers and additional information at check-in. We will have a list of program participants, so no need to show a confirmation email.

Enjoy the tour and the amazing vegan food from Season it Up and sweet treats from Dee’s Kitchen, and please fill out our post-Tour survey so we can continue offering programs like this one. 

Depart the Refuge for University Drive around 2 PM and tell all your friends about the amazing day you had with us!
