Egg My Yard
Apr 3 @ 7:00 pm – 11:45 pm

What’s better than waking up with the kids on Easter morning to discover your yard is covered in brightly colored, candy and trinket filled eggs? Not having to sneak outside and scatter eggs yourself without getting caught is certainly a big help!

For a $50 donation, Friends of Loudoun County Animal Services will deliver 30 eggs to your yard on Saturday night and place them in an area designated by you. They will text you before arrival to let you know they’re on the way, and again when they’re leaving so you know the job is done.

The bunny helpers are stuffing eggs now in preparation for the big night! Sign up now to secure your spot and to support a good cause!
