Hay for Maple Farm Sanctuary 2016
Donation protected
Emergency: Help purchase hay to feed rescued farm animals at Maple Farm Sanctuary for the fall and winter!
Maple Farm Sanctuary (MFS) is a non-profit sanctuary in Mendon, Massachusetts, that rescues and provides a lifelong home for abused, abandoned, and unwanted farm animals. We were founded in 1998 by former dairy cow farmers who had a profound change of heart—today, we are home to over 100 rescued animals including cows, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and llamas.
As temperatures begin to drop, hay will be the main source of food and nutrition for many of our rescued animals. Unfortunately, New England recently experienced its worst drought in over ten years, so MFS was unable to grow our own hay.
MFS must now purchase 3 trailer loads of hay—at $6,000 each. In addition, we need shavings to serve as soft bedding for the animals this winter. With the help of compassionate animal lovers, we are seeking to raise $20,000 to purchase hay and shavings.
As you can see in the video above, your gift will make a difference for so many animals, from tiny chicks to boisterous goats, lazy but lovable pigs, gentle cows and llamas, and many stately elder residents.
100% of money raised towards our goal of $20,000 will be used to purchase hay and shavings. Any money raised above our goal will be put towards the myriad other expenses a non-profit sanctuary incurs, including general repairs and maintenance, veterinary costs, and additional food and nutrients.
Please make your gift now to ensure that our animals have nutritious food in their bellies, warm bedding to lie down on, and a safe and loving home for life!
We have the deepest and most sincere gratitude to everyone who donates - even the smallest bit counts. Our animals say "Thank you," too!
