At Dixie’s Farrier Service, we are committed to living out our core values. In doing so, we are driven to give back to our community, both the horse world as well as the general community.
In the horse community, we are happy to offer multiple free education events each year. We have presented at various regional and international conferences, and this past December, we gave a demonstration for a pony club. We sponsor and volunteer for various organizations such as the Indiana Eventing Association. In addition, we take care of the hoof care needs for a couple therapeutic riding centers at a reduced cost.
We don’t just help the equine community however, we also give back to the community as a whole. This year we have donated several items to various benefit auctions and tried to raise awareness for days such as National Human Trafficking Day and National Adoption Day. We have purchased and collected items for Outreach Inc and will be donating to them in a couple weeks – contact us if you would also like to donate.
For 2019, we already have several things planned, including a food drive for a local food pantry. Will you join us in making this coming year even better by giving to others? You are free to join us in the various ways we will volunteer and give this year, or you can step out on your own to help those around you.
Ideas include:
- Volunteering for a local non-profit
- Donating money or items from your decluttering to a non-profit
- Being hospitable, spend time with someone that is alone or invite someone to your house to share a meal that may not be able to return the favor
