Blackberry Creek Farm Sanctuary
Tax deductible
Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary is a new 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Northern California started by a couple who teaches middle school. Driven by a desire to show compassion to those the world has forgotten, Blackberry Creek strives to provide refuge to rescued farm animals and through their stories bring trust, peace, healing and comfort to at-risk youth, veterans, the elderly, and people with special needs in the community.
In order to kickstart our programs, we need to build the infrastructure that will support all kinds of farm animals from chickens and goats to donkeys and cows! With your help we will be constructing predator-proof fencing, barns, and habitats, and obtaining a used truck and trailer so that we are able to transport and provide the best care to animals coming to live out their lives at the sanctuary.
Once we have the base funding for those crucial items, we will be able to rescue more local animals who need our help (we have already had to turn many away since starting up several months ago, because we simply don't have the facilities to properly care for them yet).
The second phase of this project will be setting up the property to provide a magical place of education and outreach to the public. Our dream is to build a "Book Barn" on the premises where children and adults alike can check out anything from a picture book to read to a cow to a non-fiction text on the history of the animal rights movement. Benches and picnicking spots along with a restroom and parking lot will be constructed for families, and wheelchair access will be ensured so that everyone can experience the joy of interacting with animals.
Several times a year we also look forward to hosting events for the education and enjoyment of the general public. Whether it be a documentary showing under the stars, a "barn raising" hoedown, or a Thanksgiving celebration where we feed turkeys instead of eat them, we need funding to make these wonderful programs happen.
We can't do this without you! Please donate if you can and if you are not able, sharing our campaign on social media and praying for our success would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping to make the world a better place for the animals we will be healing and the people they will heal in return.
