Rivanna Helps Support Monkey Tail Ranch
Our new Refer Rivanna program has really taken off, with our loyal customers referring our eco-friendly awards to others. When someone refers a new customer who makes a purchase, we donate a portion of the sale to a local nonprofit organization. Our current nonprofit partners are Richmond SPCA, FeedMore, and the IRC. We've now added Monkey Tail Ranch.
