The Foundation willingly provides its materials to interested volunteers to distribute appropriately in their local area. The Foundation developed a volunteer training manual for training, teaching, educational and safety purposes. The aviary hosts family fun, on-site volunteer work weekends and picnic lunches at the aviary quarterly throughout the year.

MEET OUR VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH!   Our February Volunteer of the Month is Dianne Stiller.  Dianne is a  devoted TGF volunteer who dearly loves donating her time once a week at the Aviary in Elizabeth.  With a smile on her face,  you can  usually find her helping out in Building C, the small bird room.  But Dianne doesn’t have preferences for which task - as long as she  gets to be around the birds.  She has a positive, can-do attitude that  is infectious to others. Dianne and her husband, Wolfgang (also a TGF volunteer), have a very  lucky flock of three cockatiels, two of them recently adopted from The  Gabriel Foundation.  Dianne and Wolfgang are avid hikers and  adventurers, and where they go...their birds go!   Just ask Dianne if she has any family photos  and she’ll show you a picture of her ‘tiels  in their little carrying cages at the top of a Colorado fourteener!  Whew! Congratulations, Dianne. Your exuberance and dedication to your own  birds, as well as to the well being of the birds at TGF is deeply appreciated. Thank you for everything you do.         ^BACK TO TOP
