Community outreach is a huge part of Rifugio Fata's mission. Francesca and Rossana and their team know that they can only rescue so many dogs, and that, ultimately, change has to come from a fundamental shift in local (and global) attitudes towards dogs and dog ownership. So, when they are not tending to their 160 plus rescue dogs at the shelter and working on their adoption programs and social media outlets, the Rifugio Fata team are out in their local community - raising awareness and raising money. And what better way to do that than a bake sale!
Last month, a group of volunteers rolled up their sleeves and got their bake on. They produced trays and trays of beautiful homemade Calabrese pastries. Then they hit the streets in order to raise some much-needed funds and talk to the local people about their work at the shelter.
And, of course, they brought along a couple of Rifugio Fata residents with them to boost PR, making their stall the sweetest stall around!
