From Farm Sanctuary

It’s a milestone year for Farm Sanctuary — and we’d like to announce the launch of our 25th Anniversary Membership Challenge.

Please join me and help Farm Sanctuary raise $25,000 by March 31 to support our vital work for farm animals.

For a quarter of a century, Farm Sanctuary members and supporters like you have helped rescue thousands of farm animals from desperate conditions, tell their stories, and open hearts and minds to stop the abuse.

It is critical that we keep up the momentum.

Make our Membership Month Challenge a great success by helping us reach our $25,000 goal so we can lay the groundwork for the next 25 years.

Farm Sanctuary was born with the rescue of Hilda, the gentle sheep I found abandoned on a stockyard dead pile. Hilda became our first resident and during the 25 years that have followed we’ve rescued and cared for thousands more.

In recent months, you’ve helped rescue Riley, a tiny piglet discovered dying at a New York stockyard … Noel, a goat found hogtied in a car trunk … and Oliver, a male calf who had the cruel misfortune of being born into the dairy industry.

But there are so many more animals still suffering.

Make a donation to Farm Sanctuary during Membership Month to help end the cruelty by:

Stopping the slaughter of pigs, goats and sheep who are too sick, weak or injured to stand or walk.

Continuing our campaign to ban cruel confinement systems state by state.

Rescuing farm animals from abuse and neglect and ensuring they live out their lives free from harm.

Educating the public about factory farming cruelty and introducing people across the country to our sanctuary residents whose individual stories inspire understanding and concern for farm animals in a uniquely powerful and lasting way.

All of this work and more depends on loyal supporters like you pitching in to make our Membership Month Challenge a success. Donate now to help raise $25,000 by March 31!.
