UFCW 3000 Member Story: Phil Gillette & Elizabeth Olson

Phil Gillette and Elizabeth Olson

Phil Gillette and Elizabeth Olson both work at the Bellingham Fred Meyer. But their true passion lies in the rabbit rescue that they started.

Bunanza Rabbit Rescue Ranch and Adoption Center got its start in 2015 when someone dumped a post-Easter bunny on Phil and Elizabeth's property in Lynden WA. Soon after they rescued another bunny running down the middle of a highway. Out of love for those first two rabbits in need, Bunanza has grown to include dozens of volunteers and has helped over 750 bunnies find permanent homes – all of them spayed or neutered, socialized, litter trained and vet verified to be healthy.

Phil and Elizabeth are vital members of their community, both at the grocery store and on the expanse of Bunanza Rabbit Resue Ranch!
