AMOUNT DONATED: $318.88

We are a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to providing sanctuary to farm animals. We believe in a plant-based diet and encourage others to explore the benefits of vegetarianism and veganism. The public is invited to visit the Sanctuary and experience the peaceful environment while meeting the animals who have captured our hearts. It is a place where humans can enjoy nature and have positive interactions with farm animals. It is a reminder that their fate rests with us. Our choices, from what we eat to what we buy and our actions in between, shape their futures.

Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

We were able to get electricity to the two main barns last fall, but we still need to run electricity to the smaller buildings and wire up all of the buildings. The is an expensive and ongoing goal to assist us in caring for the animals. We have taken in two additional horses in the past year and are in need of more pasture. This fencing project, as well as maintenance of the existing fencing, was estimated at $12,000. All Giving Week donations will go in full or in part towards these projects. Any additional funds will be used for animal feed and vet expenses.
